The Worden Hotel stood in Saratoga Springs, the upstate New York spa whose mineral waters drew wealthy visitors from the mid-1800s on. This glass-plate negative, made between 1900 and 1910, captures the resort era, when grand hotels lined the town's streets and guests came to take the waters and be seen. The Detroit Publishing Company, which made the view, was a commercial firm that photographed American towns and scenery for travelers and publishers in those years. Its street-level framing places the hotel within the everyday life of the town.
