tain scenery, lofty peaks fading away
in the distance, the most enhancing
region and the most delightful climate
to be found in America.
Construction a Marvel
The construction of Grove Park Inn
throughout is marvel of inventive
genius and artistic execution. All the
water used at the Inn is pumped sew
enteen miles, from the slopes of Mount
Mitchell, over six thousand feet alt1-
tude, and is unexcelled for putty and
softness. The watershed from which
it comes is the highest mountain east
of the Rockies The milk and cream
used here are exclusively from the
noted herd of Jerseys on the Wander
bilt estate.
The kithchen is a marvel of conven-
ience and hygienic cleanliness not ex-
cel1ed, or even approached by that OF
the finest hotels in this country Or Eu-
rope It's walls are of white glazed
tile, the floors are of white ceramic
tile. All dishes are boiled after each
service All refrigeration is art1hc1al,
ice not being used. No flies are to be
found in the kitchen or anywhere in
the hotel and mosquitoes are unknown.
In the main section of the Inn there
are sixty-four guest rooms, every one
double room and every one with
private baths, and all other sections
of the building are in suites Of rooms
with baths. All bed rooms connect and
| all walls between rooms are double
| fireproof walls with air spaces between
which render them nearly sound proof.
Furnishings Superb.
The furnishings of the hotel through
out are superb. The big ROOM" or
| lobby, is one of the most wonderful
rooms in the world. 1t is 12O feet
long by 80 feet wide, and can comfort
ably entertain 1000 people. The two
great Afireplaces burn 12-foot logs and
each required 120 tons of boulders to
build This great room Is built up OF
the most unique collection of native
boulders, flint and mica, and is 1llum1n'
ated at night by indirect lights which
inc
lights in this room alone give over L.,
900 candle power of illumination.
