The Stanley Theatre and Sound Stage

A Baroque movie palace in Utica, The Stanley Theatre and Sound Stage is located on the expanding southern edge of downtown, some four blocks away from Utica’s theater district. All the theatres located there were razed during the Urban Renewal era of the 1960s and 70s. The design motif of The Stanley Theatre is dubbed “Mexican Baroque” because of its unique blend of styles. The terra cotta and tiled mosaic exterior shows its Mexican influence, while Habsburg lions, Indian faces and a multitude of angels and cherubs grace the lavish gold leaf Baroque theater’s interior. Legend has it that the grandentry staircase was designed to resemble the main staircase on the Titanic ocean liner. The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and it is significant for its relationship to the early movie industry and its distinctive architecture.

Fort Schuyler Club

Located in the heart of downtown Utica, the Fort Schuyler Club was founded in 1883 and is the area’s only private club of its kind. It is significant as a rare and substantially intact example of a late 19th–20th century social club. Built in stages, the building is located prominently on Genesee Street, the principal thoroughfare of Utica. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2004 and kitty corner to The Stanley Theatre and Sound Stage.

Old Forge

Old Forge is the largest hamlet in historic Town of Webb, which includes Eagle Bay, Big Moose and Stillwater. From here, you can explore the Central Adirondack region and all of the Adirondack Park. Formerly a village, it remains the principal community in the region.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Utica

A historic hotel building in downtown Utica, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Utica was designed by Esenwein & Johnson, an architectural firm from Buffalo. It was originally a 10–story building of fireproof construction with 200 rooms, four dining rooms, a ballroom, an assembly hall, a restaurant for ladies and a grill and cafe for gentlemen. The top three floors were added in 1926, which increased the total number of rooms to 250. Since 2017, it has been operated as the Doubletree by Hilton. The hotel is within a mile of The Stanley Theatre and the globally acclaimed Munson–Williams–Proctor Arts Institute, recently renamed Munson.
