Starin Place and House

Starin Place and House

John H Starin was a successful business man in New York City.  He designed and owned one of the first amusement parks in the United States.  His ferries shipped people and supplies.  But the place he loved was in upstate.  A place that hosted politician, including presidents. But that wasn't the only building to have his name.
