Taylor's-on-Schroon, a hotel owned by Charles F. Taylor, was built on the farmland that would become Scaroon Manor in 1879. The hotel occupied and had of shoreline. It was popular, growing to have a maximum capacity of 150 people. George C. Gobel purchased the hotel from Taylor's son in 1916. He, in turn, sold it to Joseph Frieber in 1925. Frieber revitalized the hotel as Scaroon Manor, which he advertised as "an upscale honeymoon alternative to
Niagara Falls." Frieber sold his hotel in 1960 to the Brandt Brothers. In 1967 the New York State government purchased the site and developed it into a campsite. Two years later, the manor was razed. == Description ==
