Saranac Inn was built as the Prospect House on Upper Saranac Lake in 1864, but changed names in 1886 when a group of investors bought the property. They transformed the small hotel into a large, luxurious resort with vegetable gardens for the kitchen and cutting gardens, perhaps to supply fresh flowers for the lobby and guest rooms.
The Saranac Inn closed in 1962, and the property was gradually auctioned off in parcels. Many of the cottages still stand, but the main hotel building burned in a 7-hour fire in 1978.
