Local story of the first mansion built on the St. Regis Reservation in 1920. Called Pines Inn. A hotel-bar located at the intersection of Highway Rte. 37 and the road to Helena. Established by two brothers from the farm country south of Watertown, NY, who had run a small roadside Restaurant Inn, which was a popular stopover for our native ironworkers en route to Utica, NY, to jobs.
