I found some information about it on the internet and it turns out it was built by Walter J. Hall who was the chief contractor for Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water home.
Construction of the 7,595 square foot building began in 1935. It became known as Lynn Hall and had a restaurant and ballroom, which was popular for parties and events. That business closed in the early 50's around the time of Hall's death.
Here is what it looked like in the 40's.
And here is what it looks like today.
It's actually in a lot worse shape than the picture would lead you to believe. There is also an 1,150 square foot "cottage" to the left out of this photo which is part of the 9 acre property which is currently for sale with an asking price of $125k. The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
A few miles on down the road we visited the Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks. They are located on the east and west rims of the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania". Here are a couple of pictures from the area.
The next day we traveled on to Watkins Glen New York and the Watkins Glen State Park. There are hundreds of steps to climb as you follow the trails along the canyon walls to see the various waterfalls. Here are a couple of pictures of the falls.
A few miles north of Ithaca we visited the Taughannock Falls State Park. At 215' this is the tallest free falling waterfall in the northeastern U.S., taller than even Niagara Falls. Taughannock is an Algonquin term meaning "in the trees". Due to the fairly dry weather this summer the flow over the falls is minimal at this time.
Our day concluded with a drive of a few miles along the western edge of Cayuga Lake, one of the finger lakes. There are many vineyards and wineries in this part of the state, here is picture of one of the vineyards with Cayuga Lake in the distance.
