We just don't see detailing and much artisan work like this today. A lost art. The view is breathtaking!

My wife's great aunt used to work here as a nurse when it was a sanitarium. She said that it was a beautiful building but in her words they did "horrific things to the patients" as treatments. She didn't give me much information about what they did. Her children (now in their 70's) worked there when it was a resort for the wealthy. They said that they had many good times there and it was a wonderful place to work. He spoke of hosting camping/hiking excursions, horseback riding, and other things. Too bad it didn't survive as a resort. It would have been beautiful.

to Melli3322. The pillars look different to me too. The original pillars have grooves and the new picture has flat sided octagonal pillars. Otherwise the room looks the same. Interesting.
