arrive or depart. Yet, a President

check here, drew his personal bag.
gage, and carried it down the main
driveway to the depot, refusing to let
anyone do that chore for him.
1t is told that Mr.. Garrett visioned
the top of the Alleghenies, just five
hours from Washington and reached
from the Middle West and tidewatel
by his passenger trains, as the future
Switzerland of America. He sought
to attract not only the wealthy folk
from the great cities but diplomats
from Washington and especially the
President of the United States to his
mountain hotel. He achieved his aim
for several decades. Early each
spring, while he lived, his railroad
maintenance gangs painted and reno
waited the buildings, which were
painted white with pale yellow trim.
Built Summer Home
Mr. Garrett built himself a large
summer home adjacent to the hotel,
where later President Cleveland and
his bride spent their honeymoon.
President Cleveland came back often
during his terms to fish in the noun
tain streams in the vicinity.
Henry G. Davis and Stephen b.
Elkins, both later to become United
States Senators from West Virginia,
built homes in the park. In all, six
teen white-and-yellow painted frame
dwellings were located in the vicinity.
All We're occupied each summer by
wealthy socialites or diplomatic fanli-
lies. Indeed, until about 1910 the hotel
suites and the guest" dwellings were
usually occupied by the end of June.
The broad porches, the hotel ball
room, saw parade of the fashions of
Paris. In midsummer, garden parties
were held under the trees. Golf was
enjoyed over an excellent course, and
there were tennis courts for the
younger and athletic, and croquet for
the more sedate. British guests set up
cricket field on the lawn near the
hotel. Ambassador Spring Rice liked
the quietness here as did Lii Hung
Chang, Chinese savant and mandarin.
Central and South American diplo-
mats favored it as an escape from
Washington's torrid heat.
The rose and vine covered kiosks
and pavilions scattered about the
park attracted the whist players and
the elderly folk, who merely chatted
and tatted.
Deer Parks guests were always
"select." For them was maintained a
corps of linguistic walters brought in

| for the Season" A French-born chef
directed the cuisine. The cafe and
wine room was stocked with imported
drinks. Dances were held frequently
in the salon dining room, with chap
erons and the decorum of the times.
They were usually dress affairs, with
flamboyant feminine styles, jewels
and a sprinkling of uniformed gall
lants. When the Ambassador or Min
lister of foreign country arrived
from Washington the flag of his ma
ton was raised on the hotel flagpole.
Naval Academy Band
Director Charles z imm rm n
brought his Naval Academy Band
from Annapolis and his musicians en-
joyed their July-August furlough
playing for the guests. They gave
concerts in the open air in the band
stand, near the spouting fountain in
front of the hotel, while the musicians
doubled with stringed instruments at
night, during the dining hour or for
dances.
Railroad police guarded the hotel,
the facilities of which included sta
BILE of riding horses, a six-horse tally
no and open barouche carriages for
the guests.
The farms of Garrett county were
combed for the best of home-killed
meats, venison, poultry, vegetables
and fruits for the hotel table. A
French menu carte was printed daily.
Express trains and refrigerator cars
brought sea food. Perishable food was
stored in stone cave under rise Of
ground close to the kitchen door. Its
interior was walled with blocks of
mountain ice.
Lawn Now Weed
In front and around the building
were once acres of sloping lawns, but
now there is nothing but weed and
brush. A second growth of young tim
Der crowds the large ornamental
pines, huge cedars and native oaks
and naples that famed out around a
circular driveway and gave privacy to
the hotels occupants. The wide ave-
nue., and walks about the hotel and
in the grove, are nearly obliterated.
Some of the lawn is cabbage
patch, another part cornfield, plant
ed by railroad trackmen. The hotel
band stand has sunk into forlorn
wreckage, and the stone-fountain
basin and it's center monument have
crashed. Indeed, the eye needs only a
moment to observe that the grandeur
and glory of other days and other
generations has departed forever, like
the last hotel guest, from Deer Park.

ON~AA-~NAANA'
Vacant, with boards over it's broken
windows, the once famous Deer Park
Hotel, built over sixty years ago by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company on it's main line at the top
of the Allegheny Mountains, a few
miles east of here, is rapidly falling
into an abandoned wreck. Owls, bats
and sparrows fly in and out of broken
panes in the attic windows of the
structure that was once called the ma
tion's Summer Capital" For years it
was the gathering place of official
Washington and the diplomatic corps.
Deer Park Hotel was built at the
direction of John w. Garrett, B. & o.
president, about 1879. A large center
structure was first erected of native
white pine, cut from huge trees in the
forests near by. Later east and west
wings were added. All were three sto-
ries high, with a stone foundation and
basement. Mr.. Garrett had the archi-
tect design them after the Swiss AL
pine hotels, with wide covered porch
es about the front, sides and rear. The
east and west wings were connected
by raised covered bridge corridors, to
offset the fire hazard. The roof was
a gray and red peach-bottom slate,
still well preserved. The hotel had
large tin bathtubs and steam heat for
cold evenings in the mountains. After
its erection, thirty-candlepower cleo
trio lights were installed and a
grinder" telephone line with a room
full of ''wet batteries"
Porches Falling Away
Today, part of it's porches have
fallen away, the center stairway is
broken in, while leaves, dust and dirt
cover the porch flooring Ground
squirrels scamper over the porch rail
ings. The railroad sold it over twenty
years ago, and since that time it has
had several owners, and has been sold
at foreclosure and for taxes.
1t is hard to believe that the pres
ent structure was once the gathering
place of the rich and influential
Presidents, international figures
Washington diplomats, their wives
and daughters who came to rest or to
play in the summer months and enjoy
the mountain air and icy-cold Deer
Park spring water.
