Shoot XIX - "Mt. Washington Hotel"

Pennsylvania - most of you (Carol, Jim W., Michelle, Joani, Mike Di, Peyton, and Elaine) nailed this one but there was some dispute about one of the claims given to the Keystone State. I have been using one source which, I am sure, has some inconsistencies.

"Italian Craftsmanship"

All throughout the Mt. Washington there were many examples of the craftsmanship of past workers. This ceiling carving was ornately detailed. I was totally impressed with the pride these early workers took in their work! At one time the entire interior of the resort was painted WHITE - everything that didn't move got a coating. Painstakingly, the new owners began the work to restore the hotel to its earlier prominence. One would NEVER know the place was whitewashed many years ago!

Thought for the week. . .

Found these most interesting outlooks on life:

Either write something worth reading or
