It is ending an historic career. It was like a magnet drawing tenants and "patients" from many states. For many in New York especially it was an annual resting and curing place for thousands. They came for the baths. It was said that many doctors recom- mended them. Many men made reservations a year ahead to be able to get the benefits of the pungent smells that were said to cure many illnesses. During those years, the "patients," the guests, could be seen fraternizing on the long porch. They were the observant who ,insisted on kashrut. They attended religious services. Just as Miami Beach later became the es- cape for tens of thousands vacationing in the sunbelt, so people flocked to Mount Clemens to benefit from the Colonial. Today, the Colonial is populated by welfare reci- pients. The once elegant hotel stands in ruin, with peeling paint and broken windows. According to the De; troit Free Press, about 40 of the 80 rooms are re- nted. Since there are no cooking facilities in the upper floors, tenants have a variety of hot plates and toaster ovens operating. Mt. Clemens city officials want the 89-year old build- ing closed because of code violations. According to the Free Press, the hotel opened as the . Mt. Clemens Sanitarium on Dec. 1, 1896. It was renamed the Colonial in 1897. Many celebrities from throughout the country and from abroad came to relieve their aches and rheumatism at the baths. A negative note in the hotel's history: It once bore a placard with the slogan, "No dogs or Jews allowed." Many movements have begun to restore the old hotel, but costs are prohibi- tive. Persian Jewish Center in NY NEW YORK — A synagogue for the Persian Jewish Center of Brooklyn was dedicated recently.
