SARANAC LAKE - Roedel Companies is using every tool in its toolbox to
bring back the Hotel Saranac, from crowbars and hammers to pen on
paper.
During a tour of the project site last week, the New Hampshire-based
company's historic preservation consultant, Kim Alvarez of Landmark
Consulting in Albany, talked about the challenges of restoring the
iconic Main Street hotel. The tour was part of a day of historic
preservation programs put on by Historic Saranac Lake.
Roedel Companies, led by Fred Roedel III, purchased the hotel in early
December from the Arora family for $1.4 million. The company has
promised to return the hotel "to its historic grandeur."
