Abandoned Hotel - The Hotel Stratford Alton, IL - Abandoned Mississippi River
The Hotel Stratford is a historic; yet abandoned hotel in Alton, Illinois. It opened in 1909 under the name the Illini Hotel. St. Louis architectural firm Barnett, Haynes & Barnett designed the hotel in the Classical Revival style. The came up with this gorgeous five-story brick building. On which features brick quoins, limestone bands, sweeping window sills, view of the Mississippi and terra cotta-ornamentation.
One year after opening the hotel opened a rooftop garden and a reception room. By 1912 it became one of the hotels which drew many visitors to Alton; a contemporary newspaper account described the building as part of the greatest improvement in property in the city of Alton. In 1925, new owner E. J. Lockyer renamed the hotel to its current name. This decision was largely influenced by the new owner's love for everything Shakespeare.
Like most owner-operated hotels, it experienced a slowing of business through the 1960s and 1980s. During this period, several of the hotel's floors were closed; while others were rented out to businesses.
Though by 1990 the hotel had started to crumble and was no longer the place to be seen, the Hotel Stratford was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. At this point, only one floor remained open, with 12 rooms available for guest use. Also at this time, it was prominently featured in a major motion picture; “The Big Brass Ring”. However; it was featured as a run-down hotel in the film.
After more than 100 years, in 2011; the historic Hotel Stratford closed its doors on Halloween (Oct. 31, 2011). Over the century of use, the hotel served as a restaurant, bar, banquet center and home for several long-term residents.
The current owner, Bill Moyer; said there still are two permanent residents at the hotel, and they are finding new places to live. A few street-level businesses below the hotel, including Edward Jones, the Sierra Club, and WBGZ Radio, still operate after the hotel's closure. Moyer said he plans to prepare the structure for hibernation in the hopes that he someday will be able to fulfill his dream of renovating the building to its former glory. Let’s hope Bill can make this happen before it’s too late.
For me, the strangest thing is the radio station still broadcasting from the basement, WBGZ. It’s a local news channel, operated by a group of residents. I’ve found myself listening to their live stream while thinking of my visits to this haunting hotel.
User WBDE Said:
The Alton Box Board Co. maintained a large room at the Hotel Stratford for out-of-town guests and for off-site meetings. He enjoyed the opportunities he had to visit. The food was very good and the hotel was clean and nice. He went on to say, Alton has been in decline for many years and I cannot see the need for a hotel at this location.

Frederick, Oklahoma
Frederick is a city and county seat of Tillman County, Oklahoma, United States. Once titled The Friendly City, its charm and receptiveness leaves visitors feeling like locals. The population was 3,940 at the 2010 census. It is an agriculture-based community that primarily produces wheat, cotton, and cattle. Frederick is home to three dairies, a 1400-acre industrial park, and Frederick Regional Airport, which includes restored World War II hangars which house the World War II Airborne Demonstration Team.
Frederick was visited in April 1905 by then U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt while he was on a wolf hunt.
Originally established in 1901, the Frederick area was among the last of the Oklahoma Territory land to be opened to settlement. What is now Frederick used to be two towns: Gosnell and Hazel. Both towns were established in 1901, when the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache reservation was opened to settlement. In 1902 the towns combined in order to take advantage of the Blackwell, Enid and Southern Railroad. The new town was named Frederick, after the son of a railroad executive. Gosnell received the depot, and the residents of Hazel moved north to the new town of Frederick.The post office moved from Gosnell to Frederick, for which it was renamed in 1902.
Most of the business district was destroyed by fires in 1904 and 1905. The buildings had been made of wood, and were quickly replaced with brick.
In the spring of 1905, President Teddy Roosevelt visited Frederick to meet with Jack Catch-'em-alive Abernathy, the famed barehanded wolf hunter, and introduced the area to tourism and its recreational value. In 1907 the City of Frederick was incorporated, Oklahoma became a state, Frederick was named the seat of Tillman County, and the Katy Railroad came to Frederick. By 1915, Frederick had 15 miles of sidewalks and crossings, and 75 miles of wide, graded, rolle...

“Joseph Smith III (November 6, 1832 – December 10, 1914) was the eldest surviving son of Joseph Smith Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and Emma Hale Smith. Joseph Smith III was the Prophet-President of what became known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, now called Community of Christ, which considers itself a continuation of the church established by Smith's father in 1830. For fifty-four years until his own death, Smith presided over the church.

A Beautiful View in Central Park
Morning video tour on a beautiful day in NYC.
Belvedere Castle is one of Central Park's five visitor centers. Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted, co-designers of the Park, designed the miniature castle in 1869 as a whimsical structure looking out on the reservoir to the north (now the Great Lawn) and the Ramble to the south. Belvedere provides the highest and best views of the Park and the adjacent cityscape. The castle's name is fitting, because it translates to beautiful view in Italian.
Right now, the temperature in Central Park is.... That information, heard frequently on radio and TV, originates here at Belvedere Castle. Since 1919, the National Weather Service has taken measurements of New York's weather from the castle's tower with the aid of scientific instruments that measure wind speed and direction. In a fenced-in compound just south of the castle, other weather data such as rainfall are recorded and sent to the weather service's forecast office at Brookhaven National Library on Long Island.
After decades of deterioration, Central Park Conservancy renovated and reopened the castle in 1983 as a visitor center and gift shop. The most recent restoration was completed in 2019.

These Are the Haunting Photos of the Watts Family’s Final Vacation
Haunting photos capture the Watts family's final vacation before dad Chris Watts allegedly killed his pregnant wife and two daughters. In the images, mom Shanann Watts, 34, can be seen proudly snapping a photo of her daughter Bella, 4, who's bouncing on a nearby trampoline, while the family was on vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, earlier this month. Less than two weeks later, the mom and daughters would be dead, allegedly strangled by Chris Watts. He faces nine charges, including several counts of first-degree murder.
