Land of the Sky, p. 27 - Images of the Green Park Hotel at Blowing
Rock and Eseeola Inn at Linnville, N.C. Text describing the two
sites. |

| "Within five minutes walk of the Rock,
near the crest of the Ridge, just between the springs of New river and
Yadkin, is Green Park hotel so exactly placed as to turn the rainfall
from the roof partly toward the Ohio and partly toward the Pee Dee
rivers.
The hotel, a handsome thoroughly modern structure, has all the 'improvements,' warmed by fire-places, with hot and cold baths, &c., and is supplied from the springs alluded to with purest cold water. It is fully carpeted, it has a fine billiard room, shooting gallery, bowling alley, tennis court and other modes of amusement. Telegraph and pos-office in the building."
