Abandoned states: Extraordinary pictures show how once idyllic vacation lodges in the Poconos and Catskills have transformed into dilapidated and abandoned shells of their former selves


A series of photos have captured how old lodges and resorts featured on 1960s postcards turned into scenes of abandonment. Photographer Pablo Iglesias Maurer visited different defunct locations in the Poconos and the Catskills to show how the once idyllic places had fallen into disrepair and decay. According to an article he wrote on DCist, Maurer was inspired by a matchbook showing a pool at Penn Hills Lodge and Cottages in the Poconos resort with frolicking guests - but the abandoned lodge resembled nothing of what remained.
