Waynesville, North Carolina: Hotels, Apartments, and Inns

Waynesville, North Carolina: Hotels, Apartments, and Inns

Hotels

This late 1920s brochure for Waynesville, N.C., compiled by the Waynesville Chamber of Commerce, featured 'Hotels, Apartments, and Inns -- A List of Accommodations'� (Waynesville, N.C.: The Haywood Print Shop). As in the heyday of the railway, the left panel of the brochure notes that 'Waynesville is the highest incorporated railroad town in Eastern America'� and also promotes its stance as 'the nearest gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.'� The text on the reverse side indicates that, 'This is a partial list of hotels, apartments, boarding houses, inns and rooms in private homes in which guests of Waynesville may find satisfactory accommodations.'� Rooming categories listed on the reverse page include 'Hotels and Inns,'� 'Rooms and Board,'� 'Rooms Only and Apartments,'� with most listings providing Daily Rates, Weekly Rates, and Cap'y (capacity). A notable piece of information that can be detected from the accommodations list is the number of women who are named as the operators of the lodgings.
