“In the grounds of The Kittatinny, Delaware Water Gap, Pa.,” c. 1905, by Detroit Publishing Co. via Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
What a pleasant spot. What do you think they’re talking about?
The Kittatinny was the first of the resort hotels at Delaware Water Gap in the Poconos Mountains — opening in 1832. In its heyday in the early 20th century, it could accommodate hundreds of guests.
The hotel burned down in 1931. Some of the foundation is still visible, as well as a stream that used to run through the basement kitchen, according to a National Park Service newsletter.
