Thirties handrails, Sixties lighting, Eighties partitions to the top of the stairwell. This place has had more facelifts over the years than Liz Taylor... and probably looks better :)

I don't know what it is about these winter resorts but in the 80s I trained in a resort with the same mixed-era look, although it was in the midwest..

Same stairwell as in SPLINTER-CELL. Still can't make it past that level.

Id pay for these light fixtures. They look way cooler than anything thats being made today. Heck the owners should have a sale, all you can take for $20 a car load

There probobly fine, it would be easy to re wire them if need be. The sad truth though, they'll most likely be destroyed should the hotel ever be torn down

I'll bet the light stealer will come back for these.

First the gyro-fans and now the light fixtures! I'm betting that the theives go back for the soap dispensers next. I hear that they go for big bucks on eBay.

Are there any plans for this resort; remodeling maybe, demolition? How about some condominiums? Isn't that what they normally do when a place is beyond repair?

You can get lights real similar to those in Ikea....my friend has one in her hallway. It cost her £14!

when its beyond repair, they usually turn it into staff housing--at least that's what it was like from 1980-82

We used to sit at the bellhop desk and wager on the amount of people who would come tumbling down those stairs.

Wow, these pictures really bring back memories. Thank you, Motts, for posting these.
I stayed at The Pines for a week in 1996 for a family reunion when I was 6. Searching for the Pines online is how I found Opacity. Too bad the hotel closed.

Great lobby! Love the hanging lights, circa 80's. I wish this place was still opened....it has a mysterious, haunting quality about it; like going back in time...

Indeed, this is all torn apart now, you can see some more recent pictures over at AbandonedNY that show what its like now.

Very 80s
