Hotel research record.

Historic Hotel Broadalbin is a hotel in Broadalbin, New York. Hotel research record. Building began as an 1854 glove factory and became a Keeley Cure treatment institution in 1895. Reported lore and claims include: Visitors reportedly see soldiers at the staircase and figures in windows, with unexplained nighttime touches.

The Hotel Broadalbin is the building that's been everything — the 1854 glove factory that became a hotel, a Keeley Cure inebriate hospital, and a hotel again. The Keeley Cure was quackery that blinded and killed patients; the soldiers at the top of the stairs are the ghosts.
The building was the cures — the glove factory that made the town, the Keeley hospital that treated alcoholics with the bichloride of gold that was charlatanry, the hotel that's been the same since 1854. The deaths were the patients'; the pokes in the night are the record.
The hotel is still there — the 1854 Pub & Eatery, the ballroom, the lamp that falls by itself. The file keeps the layers: the glove factory, the cure that killed, and the hotel that's been every kind of institution.
The Hotel Broadalbin is the archive's hotel file — the 1854 building that's been factory, hospital, and hotel, and the ghosts that are the patients' record.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Broadalbin is the archive's institution file — the building that was factory, cure hospital, and hotel, the Keeley deaths, and the ghosts that are the record.
A building that's been everything keeps its patients — the file's suggestion being that the Broadalbin's hold is the cure: the Keeley hospital that killed, the soldiers on the stairs, and the hotel that's the town's longest institution.
