It could be they covered the pillars with wood to make it look flat and octagonal. They did this in an old clothing store I worked in, they covered the original pillars when they did a "remodel" some years back. After the store closed and they were gutting it, they peeled off the wood and found the original thinner pillar. Now the place is a condo, yuck!!

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.

Motts,
When are you planning on revisiting? Observing the pictures of the grounds in the old photos makes me want to go and take some pics of the surrounding area. I agree that it probably would have been a more impressive shoot.

I like the architecture on this building--still looks good to me.
