  • Early this morning fire destroyed the Riverside Inn. The grand hotel's beginnings started when John H. Gray discovered a spring while searching for petroleum in the village of Cambridge, PA. Gray, who had experienced the waters in Hot Springs, AK, concluded that the water of his spring also had medicinal properties. Gray formed the Gray's Mineral Fountain Company in August 1884 and financed the construction of a sanitorium. The opening of the Riverside Hotel, however, was postponed to July 1, 1888 by construction delays. It was the first building of its type built in Crawford County. Over 129 years this building has provided memories for generations. It will be missed. #CambridgeSprings #RiversideInn
