Big plans for Saranac Lake’s
By Aaron Marbone
The big blue Loomis building on the corner of Broadway and Woodruff Street is decked out with flowers hanging from its wrap-around porch after Saranac Lake resident Ed Dukett sold the historic building he’s owned since 1972 to Taimim Li of Long Island.
Katie Stiles, the broker and owner of the Adirondack Stiles Real Estate Company who facilitated the sale, said there are a lot more plans for the building.
The Loomis Block, also called the Downing Block, at 14-16 Broadway is prime real estate. The building was constructed in 1896 by Frederick and Hattie Loomis, and it is one of the buildings in the downtown area that Historic Saranac Lake has gotten on the National Register of Historic Places.
The storefronts have been empty, but upstairs, Dukett lived and rented to several tenants.
All parties have declined to disclose the sale price for the property, saying they would wait until the sale is filed with the county. Stiles said the property sold for more than $500,000, at “market value.” Dukett said it sold for between $500,000 and $1 million. The Franklin County Real Property Tax Services office does not have a record of the sale yet.
The sale also included 10 Woodruff St., a house on the side street behind the Loomis block.
Li has been visiting Saranac Lake throughout his life. His aunt, Mildred “MiLi” Li, moved to Saranac Lake to seek treatment for tuberculosis in 1945.
Going forward, Stiles will manage the property.
She believes there should still be brick behind the blue stucco facade and plans to do
an “experiment” to find out. If the brick is still there and in good shape, she wants to keep it. That would look “classy,” she said. If not, then she plans to paint the building — anything but blue.
The plan is to renovate the exterior and the porches, rent the storefronts and then figure out what to do with the upstairs.
The Loomis block building has for many years been considered an eyesore in Saranac Lake’s central business district. The building became part of a broader debate in village elections over the past few years as residents pressed candidates on their plans for addressing vacant storefronts downtown. Storefronts change dynamics, Stiles said.
Their primary goal is to fill empty storefronts, she said. Stiles sits on the village advisory boards, and this is constantly a topic of discussion.
She is planning some sort of business in one of the storefronts with Li and her husband Bruce Darring. But she is keeping that a secret for now.
Stiles said the building will probably not be able to hold a restaurant because the kitchen in the back is very old, but they’re open to hearing plans.
Upstairs, in the old hotel, there are rooms with common spaces, like bathrooms. This floor will likely be reconfigured. The upstairs is wide open in terms of what it could be used for. It has two larger apartments, two smaller apartment studio spaces and four hotel-style rooms without bathrooms.
Stiles said it could be residential, office space or short-term efficiency rentals. They aren’t committing to anything yet. With mixed use zoning, there are a lot of options. Their first order of business is to get those storefronts filled.

“I knew that they wanted a Bavarian stylethemed mural that kind of encapsulates Lake Placid, the activities, and so the mural above Locker Room 5 is all winter activities,” she said. “So you have a depiction of the 1980 ‘Miracle on Ice’ photo, you have a tobogganer, you have some cross-country skiers and some other winter elements.”

“This is all curated by what the family wanted here at the Golden Arrow,” Williams said. “We had to go back and forth with revisions. I had a loose idea. We consulted months ago and have been touching base and finally landed on the final design by the end of July.”

“Especially murals that are outside for the public. I’m passionate about public art,” she said. “The challenge, just the full-body movements. It’s very therapeutic. As far as the public art aspect, I love engaging with the community. There’s so much value with public art, and so I try to advocate for that as much as possible and make connections with the community wherever in painting. In return, everybody kind of gets to learn about it.”

Part of hiring Williams for the Golden Arrow and Locker Room 5 murals was to help introduce Lake Placid to the concept of public art, which has been one of the goals of the Lake Placid/ North Elba Arts Alliance. Formed in 2021 as part of the latest village/town comprehensive plan, the Alliance has five voting member organizations: Lake Placid/North Elba Community Development Commission, Lake Placid Center for the Arts, Lake Placid Sinfonietta, Lake Placid-North Elba Historical Society and Adirondack Film.

“This is not a community that is used to public art, so to get them to support something, we have to tell them this isn’t permanent,” LPCA Managing Director Jon Donk said while the sidewalk mural was being painted in 2023. “Let’s just do it and see people excited about it and then maybe they’d be open to a wall (mural) or something that would be more permanent.”
