It is crazy to see there was still hope back in the early 2000s now this hotel is ruin you can’t even go in without falling most of it has burned or has fallen

Sad news...Speedy Garfin passed away February 19, 2021.
I sang with his band at Kutchers 2000 to 2004. He was a pleasure to have known...He will be missed.

I can't believe this beautiful piece of decor and architectural history is going to be demolished! Shame shame shame and likely to be replaced with some colorless, lifeless, sterile piece of just add grey and mix! Breaks my heart! Where are the defenders of heritage and soul?

How is this even possible....someone has to be using that bathroom and cleaning it, right?

Pretty sure that’s actually a giant walk-in soap dispenser.

As of this writing, Billy Alfred is alive and well in Florida. I was privileged to be his sideman on trombone for a few years with The Doug Richards Trio, which often backed up Donna Singer.

I played trumpet in the orchestra ol f the Persian Room of The Pines Hotel the Summers of 1967 and 1968. The group was led by Sid Wayne in 1967 and by John Danser in 1968. Saul Kaye sat right beside me. What a wonderful experience, especially for a young goy. Does anyone remember? cjandrews46@gmail.com

Poltergeist.

Sad to see. I went there on a high school weekend trip in 1984.

I loved going here as a kid. The photos bring back so many memories.

I still have a pink phone like that on my kitchen wall and it works perfectly. It's great to have when the power goes out!

Funnily enough, I have been under our house today clearing all the old bathroom tiles the previous owner dumped under there. Although they were in pieces and fragments, these are very similar to what this bathroom would have looked like in the early 50's..... what a shame and waste.....

I worked at the ranch on weekends in the 60's and 70's. I was also in love with Annette and was crushed when she got married. Fun times!!

That's one cool pool. It now looks like it supports green life now on Google maps.

From what I see on Google maps, it looks like most of the employee quarters is gone. I was matching up your shots with the map.
