Reference excerpt

The Queensbury Hotel, in Glens Falls, New York, is a historic hotel built in 1926. It featured Colonial Revival architecture in its exterior, mahogany in its interior styling and room doors, and had more than 200 rooms. In 2021, after renovations including in 2019, it has 125 rooms and suites as well as the Queen's Ballroom and other event spaces and amenities. It includes an "upscale" bar/restaurant, Fenimore's Pub. Along with the town of Queensbury surrounding Glens Falls, it most likely was named for Queen Charlotte.

The hotel has long been part of the Glens Falls' fabric, being located in its downtown, on Ridge Street (New York State Route 9L). It faces across City Park to the historic City Hall building. The Paramount Theatre, once one of three movie theaters in Glens Falls, formerly across Ridge Street from the hotel, was open from the 1930s to the 1970s, and was ultimately demolished in 1979.

History By 1916, it became a goal of local boosters (businessmen, the Chamber of Commerce, and city officials) to have a hotel built. It would serve tourists going to and from the Adirondacks, and non-local businessmen, and it would serve as a community center. On March 6, 1924, at the Glens Falls Insurance Co., 100 businessmen met and unanimously voted to organize a Glens Falls Hotel Corporation and to build a $600,000 modern hotel. Both the Glens Falls Insurance company and Finch, Pruyn and Company subscribed to $50,000 worth of stock. Enthusiastic efforts led to $440,000, equivalent to about $6.6 million in 2019, being raised in only eight days. Construction began later that year. Since then, a number of renovations have added guestrooms and meeting rooms and more. During 2009 to 2014 the hotel's business was boosted by activity of the Glens Falls' Adirondack Phantoms, an American Hockey League team which played at Glens Falls Civic Center. In 2010 it hosted Jerry D'Amigo and team-mates of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who were in town to play the Phantoms. It was bought in March 2016 by self-styled "Adirondack Region entrepreneur" Ed Moore. It became a member of the Historic Hotels of America program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2017. In 2018 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with reference number 100002924.

Other In 2020 it was election night headquarters for U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik, who gave a victory speech on November 3. In 2021 it has been difficult for the Lake George region's tourism industry, including this hotel, to hire up post-Covid, for both seasonal and permanent employees. In April the manager of The Queensbury Hotel and of the Fairfield Inn & Suites reported there were 60 positions unfilled, between the two hotels.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Queensbury Hotel

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Queensbury Hotel claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Queensbury Hotel before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Queensbury Hotel ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Queensbury Hotel

In research: Queensbury Hotel appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Queensbury Hotel in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Queensbury Hotel is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1926, Buildings and structures in Warren County, New York, Colonial Revival architecture in New York (state), so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Queensbury Hotel outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
