Joseph Gregory Takes Lease on Prince Albert Hotel

Joseph Gregory of Newcomb, formerly of Ticonderoga, took possession Friday under lease of the Prince Albert Hotel near the Tupper Lake Country Club golf course at Moody. He leased the hotel from Daniel Flanders, present proprietor. Mr. Gregory is thoroughly familiar with the management of Adirondack resorts through years of experience, including a long term in charge of the popular Lake Harris House at

Newcomb. The Prince Albert Hotel was erected about 60 years ago—one of the earliest hostelries in this section of the Adirondacks. It was run for a time by the famed "Uncle Mart," Moody, when it was known as the Mt. Morris House. He sold it to Pliny Robbins, who is said to have put the first steam-boat on Big Tupper Lake, bringing it at enormous expense from Lake Ontario. Robbins managed the hotel for many years, selling it, in turn, to Colonel William Barbour. Others who later acquired the hotel included Robert N. Page, Daniel Flanders and Mrs. Theodore Nepton.
