In 1995, I stayed at the Hotel Alexander, when it only a few years old. Granted, it was closed for the winter season in March 2005, when I took this photograph, and much of the surrounding area has been built up within the last 10 years, but it looks like time hasn't been so kind to the hotel. Or, maybe, it was in the process of being renovated? Note the condition of the gable in this picture vs. that shown on the link posted above.

I hope renovation was the case because the owners, in 1995, were especially kind.
