Eagle's Nest and White Sulphur Springs

Eagle's Nest and White Sulphur Springs

Appalachian Mountains

This advertisement for Eagle's Nest and White Sulphur Springs, two of the premier hotels in Waynesville, N.C., appeared in the Greater Western North Carolina Association's Information to Visitors Concerning Greater Western North Carolina (Asheville, N.C.: Inland Press, 1913). Dramatically situated on Mount Junaluska at an elevation of 5,000 feet, the Eagle's Nest overlooked the town and required a five mile carriage ride to reach. The White Sulphur Springs Hotel, and its noted mineral spring, was nearer the center of town. In 1918 both hotels befell different fates. The April 4, 1918, issue of the Carolina Mountaineer and Waynesville Courier (Waynesville, N.C.) reported on the acquisition of the White Sulphur Springs Hotel by the United States military as a recuperative center for personnel suffering from respiratory problems resulting from World War I. On April 25, 1918, the Carolina Mountaineer and Waynesville Courier reported that a fire of unknown origin had destroyed Eagle's Nest three days earlier.
