The Saranac Inn, originally called Hough's, and then the Prospect House, was a large, luxurious hotel located on a peninsula at the northern end of the [Saranac Lake] in the town of [Clara]. It was frequented by US Presidents [Cleveland] and [A. Arthur] and New York Governors [Evans Hughes] and [Smith]. It closed in 1962, and burned to the ground in 1978.

Saranac Inn is also the name of a small hamlet, also called [Saranac], that grew up in the vicinity of the Inn, and of the public golf course that was originally part of the Inn. The par 72 [Inn Golf Course] was recognized by Golf Digest as one of four U.S. courses that are one hundred years or older that received four and a half stars.

Originally built as Hough's (for [S. Hough]) in 1864, and later called the Prospect House, by subsequent owner [Derby], it started as a small hotel that accommodated 15 guests. It was gradually enlarged to handle up to 100. In 1886 it was purchased by a group of investors headed by Dr. [B. Ward] who renamed it Saranac Inn, and began a program of renovation and construction that brought the capacity to 250 by 1909.  They also bought the surrounding 26,880 acres, including fifty lakes and ponds. The opening of the [and Malone Railway] in 1892 had a major impact on the hotel, as it dramatically reduced travel time from major east coast cities to the Adirondacks.
