It is now being used as a senior living facility known as Albany Heights. It is located at 245 Pine Street. Sam Farkas was the hotel's manager. The hotel advertised 115 room with 115 baths on one cent stamp postcards. A 1941 postcard promotes the town as "the world's greatest paper shell pecan center", "the bird dog capital of the world", "mecca for sportsmen in this field" and noted that the "famous Radium Springs resort is one of the most beautiful natural springs in the South".[2] A more recent Wm.
