This page from the late 1920s brochure for the 'Hotel Gordon'� has a line-drawing illustration of the hotel, which was located in Waynesville, North Carolina. Automobiles are shown in the drawing parked in front of the hotel and the brochure notes that 'Waynesville is easily accessible by all motor highways and North Carolina's highways are famous in their perfection.'� The cover of the brochure lists the hotel as a 'Summer Resort'� in Waynesville, N.C., which is described as 'The Switzerland of America.'� Built in 1890 and enlarged in 1910, the Hotel Gordon was a substantial structure. According to the brochure, the hotel offered an impressive array of amenities to its guests, and this particular page of the brochure notes that '[t]he grounds of the Gordon form one of its numerous attractions'� and that '[o]ne of the charms of the Gordon is the homelike atmosphere that pervades.' A fire in 1957 destroyed the building.
