Long Branch Motel
Built in 1887, the hotel was quite known and famous and saw its time of glory, It had closed in the late 1990s and saw a brief revival in the early 2000’s when it was reopened for approximately one year.
The flame that overwhelmed the long branch motel
Sources say there was a huge fire, firefighters came by the scene,9 of them were injured while trying to extinguish the fire, the fire started around 2 pm or 3 pm, and wasn’t out till 9 pm or 10. The fire was so huge, the area was practically covered in smoke for hours, with a crowd of 3000 people, and police aiding the rescue, and 300 firemen fighting the fire.
Long branch motel- Abandoned, and at nature’s mercy
Today it sits abandoned along the highway. Water has made its way into the building, creating unsafe mold growth from the ceiling and soggy flooring in the hallway. The place is in shambles, a lot of suites are just wrecked and with graffiti, with each passing year, a layer of snow and algae just builds up, deteriorating it even further. There is potential for someone to fall through the hallway floor if they are not careful.

Driven past it many times. Interesting to see its deterioration over the years.
Passed this location on the way back from a trip. Wasn't dressed to properly (considering i was in a dress & flip flops..not the best exploring gear) but i knew i had to stop to check it out anyways. this motel is badly deteriorating. Didn't want to risk going inside.
Paid this place a visit over the Labour Day weekend - it's a fascinating explore, but watch the floors in the restaurant. A lot of them have caved in, and a good chunk of the rest are nearly there. Does anyone know why there's a random RV parked out front with a "for sale" sign? The satellite pictures of the area, while not great, clearly show that it's a recent addition.
Passed this on a roadtrip yesterday...and also tried to close a few doors...don't want it deteriorating any quicker than it has to :)
this is the greatest gallery to literally watch a building decay over a 3 year period, awesome job everyone!
Stopped by this evening, sadly the property has deteriorated considerably since previous photos posted. Restaraunt building is especially fascinating, seems to have started as simple house/cottage (at south end) and been added on to numerous times.

Just up the road from this is an abandoned gas station with abandon cars and car parts
