umm lol I hate to tell u this but Alysha is right. Sulfur Springs was a totally different place that was 100 feet away.. it burned down– I watched it burn down when I was a kid. This Hotel/retirement home was just Preston Springs with NO sulfur in the name.
Seriously u need to check your facts before printing them as truths online

I was just speaking to a retired Cambridge police officer that I work with today, and you seem to have some facts misplaced. The old hotel was called Preston Springs. Sulfur Springs was ANOTHER hotel located across the street where there is now an empty (albeit overgrown) lot, in front of the Condo apartment building.

Also, when he arrived in the area in 1955, it was still active as Preston Springs, and had not yet closed or been turned into a retirement home.

I found this site because we had this conversation earlier, and I was interested in learning more, but if what I find on the internet is not historical fact, then I might as well just talk to the old people instead.

Thanks for the great spine tingling story.

I would love to have seen the interior of the hotel prior to it being renovated.

I was inside earlier this year. Here are some photos:

My Name is Lori and had been raised in the “Preston” are of Cambridge all my life, The “Old” as we classify as Sulphur Springs Hotel was a and still is a Beautiful Heritage Landmark. I always wanted to go inside the Hotel and one day did journey myself inside it’s front doors as a courious child does, just being inquisitive. It was breath taking and still today the images are still burned into my memory.
Thankyou for sharing your story
