Lake Brantingham Inn, pictured in 1921, stood on the lake in the Brantingham area of Lewis County in northern New York, a rural county whose economy rested mainly on dairy farming, cheese and timber. A lakeside inn gave local families and city visitors a break from ordinary farm and mill work, and by the early 1920s automobiles were making once-remote lakes easier to reach. Innkeepers in such places depended on summer guests, so the year was organized around the season's rooms, boats and dining tables. The national ban on alcohol, in effect since 1920, also changed how resorts like this one attracted and kept their customers.
