This George Masa (1885-1933) photograph has typed on the reverse, “Famous Grove Park Inn, one of the most unique and excessive hostelries in the world, is a point of interest in Asheville, N.C.” It is stamped, “From the collection of Culver Service 51 E 42nd Street N.Y.C.” The photographer, looking northeast, shows the expansive yard in the foreground and the Grove Park Inn in the background. Masa’s identifying number is found on the bottom left, 0-701. This item is from the Hart Masa Collection, a collection of photographs, publications, postcards, correspondence, and ephemera related to the life and work of photographer George Masa. Known for his iconic images of the Southern Appalachian Mountains and his advocacy for the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Masa also produced commercial work for private businesses, publishers, news services, and other entities. The Hart Masa Collection was assembled by donors William A. Hart, Jr., and Alice Huff Hart, who provided much of the contextual information for the items in this collection.
