Appalachian Mountains

Opened in July 1913, the Grove Park Inn quickly emerged as a premier destination in Asheville, N.C. This advertisement in the North Carolina Good Roads Association's 1916 publication Road Maps and Tour Book of Western North Carolina (Raleigh, N.C.?: North Carolina Good Roads Association; in co-operation with the State Highway Commission) noted that the inn was 'three and a half miles from the railroad. The street-cars are not allowed to come near enough to be heard. We burn coke - not soft coal. Automobiles not allowed near the building during the night. Thus we have no smoke, no dust, no train noise.'
