The record — long form
The Grove Park Inn is the hotel the chill tonic built — the granite resort that Edwin Wiley Grove, who made his fortune making quinine palatable, threw up on Sunset Mountain in under a year: four hundred men and twenty Italian stonemasons hauling native boulders into the Arts and Crafts pile that opened July 12, 1913. William Jennings Bryan called it 'built for the ages'; the fireplaces take twelve-foot logs and hide the elevators.
The guest book is the century: ten presidents, F. Scott Fitzgerald summering in Rooms 441 and 443 while Zelda was in the sanitarium, the Supreme Court evacuated here in the 1942 war-scare plan. The ghost is the Pink Lady — the woman in pink who fell from the fifth-floor balcony to the Palm Court in the 1920s, whether slipping or jumping nobody established, who still appears as a glow or a figure and gets a dress displayed in her honor.
The file keeps the Grove Park: the tonic fortune, the granite mountain of 1913, the presidential decades, and the Pink Lady on the Palm Court floor.
The Grove Park Inn is the archive's Asheville file — the quinine king's castle and the woman who fell into the lobby.
