developed on a 33s-acre tract re-
Gently purchased for one million
dollars by Bertil Malmstedt and
Margaret Johnson, of Torpet
Enterprises. The tract has been
known as the Gold Mine since
gold was discovered there in
1864, and was the site of mining
operations through the 1905.
According to the developers,
the project will include an eight
story building providing sweep
ing views of the Potomac gorge
and wooded hills of the region,
an 18-hole golf course of cham
pionship caliber," riding stables
and some six miles of forested
bride paths, a swimming pool,
tennis courts and walking trails.
Heliport Planned
A novel feature will be a hell
port providing service to Dulles,
Washington and Friendship air.
ports and, with completion of
the George Washington Memoir
ial Parkway, Commute limou-
sine service will be available to
downtown Washington, the
planners said.
A section of the tract pierced
by gold mine shafts no longer
in use will be devoted to small
museum.
The ambitious plans call for
establishment of a roof garden
atop the main hotel building, to
be called the Golden Gate and
offering diners a spectacular
view of Great Falls.
In announcing plans for the
project. Malmstedt said:
washington, the internation-
al capital of the world, has long
lacked a major hotel facility
commensurate with that status.
1t is our intention that the Coli
Mine, located in an area of
great natural beauty and yet
convenient to the city, offer to
international guests and bust
nessmen that combination of
facilities for work and relaxa-
ton that one finds now only at
some distance from Washing
ton"
He said "the characteristic
hospitality of this region, ex-
emplified in the very best of its
resort hotels, will here be
matched with the stimulation
of the nearby city"
Highway Spurs Plans
Malmstedt said the decision to
proceed with the project was
spurred by plans for completion
of the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway on both sides
of the Potomac, proposed con-
struction of bridges above Great
Falls and at Cabin John and the
impending opening Of Dulles In
ternational Airport.
With these developments, he
said, it became apparent that
"this splendid tract of land
could not long remain safe from
development that might be in
consistent with the best inter
ests of the Potomac commun-
ity and with Washington as a
whole"
Malmstedt said the project
win help preserve the scenic
characteristics of the property,
since only three of the 1913
acres on the site will be occu-
pied bv the hotel itself.
