I put this old Alexandria Bay photo up on Abay's Facebook and the comments just went crazy.. I figured the rest of you might enjoy the picture as well.

In the photo we are at the old Thousand Island House Hotel (Current Hospital location) looking North..

My source where I found the photo says it's 1901.. but who knows..
Another source for a black/white version of the same photo said 1901 for the original negative..
..... so the version below was likely colorized..
