Images of America - Briarcliff Lodge

Corrections / Clarifications /Updates, as of January 3, 2005

• Photographs of the fire were taken by Jack Bakker (Chapter 7). His name was misspelled in the credits.
  

• Regarding the 1926 trainload of snow brought in for the ski jump, local legend has persisted for years that snow was brought in from Canada. This was the era of Prohibition, and it has been said that whiskey etc was buried in the snow. I do not doubt the story. However, the New York Times reported that the snow came from the Adirondacks.
  

• New construction has not occurred at the site of Briarcliff Lodge, and the current owner, Barrington Venture, is said to be rethinking its options. (Sale of the property to Hyatt Classic was announced in the fall of 2004.)
  

• The fire of September 20, 2003 has officially been ruled an arson.
  

• Dr. Radandt's name was misspelled. He was President of The King's College when it closed in Briarcliff Manor.
  

• The official spelling of The King's College includes "The" with a capital-T. The publisher does not follow this convention, although the reference here is to God, not to a king.
