At its prime, it had a 27-hole golf course, both indoor and outdoor pools, a nightclub, two Kosher kitchens and a massive dining room that could seat 1,500 people. Grossinger's, an 812-acre resort about 80 miles north of New York City, was once one of the most storied and glamorous hotels in the Catskills, according to the Associated Press, as hundreds of thousands of people, many of them Jewish, would visit it every year.

"At the request of Town of Liberty Code Enforcement, an excavator was brought into the scene to knock down the structure once the fire was out," Liberty Fire Department said. Many of the other structures on the property were previously demolished, according to The New York Times.
The main building on the property was torn down about four years ago, Sullivan County Fire Coordinator John Hauschild told the Associated Press. It's unclear what the burned structure was being used for at the time. They had to use more than 1,000 feet of hose and it took "several hours" to get the fire under control, they said in a Facebook post. The fire was so massive, they said, that smoke could be seen "for several miles."įirefighters had a difficult time accessing the blazing structure, as the long-vacant property was overgrown and there were concrete barriers on the road. The Liberty, New York, fire department said Wednesday that a three-and-a-half-story building at Grossinger's Catskill resort had caught on fire overnight. On Tuesday night, a building at the famed New York resort that once hosted idyllic family summers and served as inspiration for the film's backdrop burned down. The 1987 film "Dirty Dancing" has been revered for its iconic setting in the Catskills.
