Stony Lake at Glenfield, New York, photographed in 1921, sits in a part of the state where farming and summer tourism shared the local economy. By then, dairy farms and small woodlots supplied the surrounding country, while hotels like the Stony Lake Hotel drew city families who came for several weeks of fresh air, swimming, and boating. The years after the First World War brought more automobiles onto rural roads, making lakeside resorts easier to reach than they had been a generation earlier. The hotel's name and the photographer's attention to its grounds suggest that the lake and the guests who arrived each summer were the reasons the place was worth recording.
