THE CAROLINA HOTEL.
HOTEL.
The phenomenal growth of Pinehurst
has astonished even its most enthusiastic
admirers. Each year since the town
was first laid out it has been necessary
to erect many new buildings in order to
provide accommodations for the con
stantly increasing number of people who
are attracted to our beautiful little vil
lage during the winter months, hut the
extensive building operations during the
past summer have eclipsed all previous
efforts in this line.
The most notable addition to our vil
lage this se.ison is the mammoth Carolina
Hotel the largest hotel in the state.

by Mr. W. C. Bain of Greensboro, N. C.

imposing. It is located on the highest
ground in Pinehurst, on the west side
of the town, und is about, three minutes'
walk from the centre of the village.
A better location would be hard to
find. The building faces southeast and
is surrounded by spacious grounds at
tractively laid out. The front commands
a beautiful view across gently sloping
green lawns, dotted with ornunental
shrubbery, to the village; while on the
back and sides the pine woods stretches
away for many miles.
The main building is four stories high
and built, in the form of a T. By this
arrangement every room in the house
receives an abundance of pure air and
sunlight. At the rear is i one-story
brick kitchen, and back of that a three
story building for the employes. At the
eastern end of the main building is a tine
large music pavilion which will seat
three bundled people. Broad covered
piazzas run along three sides of the main
building, and connected with these are
four cozy sun rooms.
The house, including the music pavil

feet, while the distance from front to
