The lobby of Grove Park Inn, Asheville,
N. C., is one of the most wonderful rooms in
the world. Built of a unique collection of
native boulders, flint, and mica, it is 120 feet
long by 80 feet wide and can comfortably en-
tertain a thousand people. At each end of the
room there are two enormous fireplaces, each
of which required 120 tons of boulders to
build. They are 6 feet high and 36 feet wide
and burn logs as large as 12 feet in length.
These fireplaces are a source of interest and
awe to the many visitors to the Inn.
