the record of Green Park.
Built in the I*2, it is a
reminder of bygone days,
but has the frills for modern
day comfort.
The name has changed,
but there’s a familiar face at
the Green Park Inn. Stanley
Greene is the caretaker. He
has had this job for 20 years,
and his father had the same
position for 40 years.
“We used to call it a
’baseball hotel’,” Greene
said with a sty grin.
Responding to a stare, he
said: “Don’t you know what
a baseball hotel is? Why, its
one with a pitcher on the
dresser and a catcher under
the bed.”
The land was originally
settled by seven Green
Brothers. “As a matter
of fact, this was once known
as the Greene sction, and
there was a Greene Park
Post Office Station,” he
said. His great-grandfather
lost the land after the Civil
War.
The Inn sits on the
Eastern Continental Divide.

RESTING PLACE When the Green Park Hotel opened in April at Blowing Rock, it
sported a complete face-lifting and a new name, the Green Park Inn. It retains the charm
and hospitality of the 1882 version, however, and a familiar face is that of Stanley Greene,
(inset), who will continue as caretaker after 20 years at the Green Park.

of the Inn flows north to the
New River, then to the Ohio,
into the Mississippi and to
the Gulf of Mexico. A spring
near the south end of the Inn
drains into a stream that
flows into the Yadkin River
and ends up in the Atlantic
Ocean.
Rocking chairs gracing
the porch are used for
relaxing and visiting.
How many roans does the
Green Park have now?
“I don’t know,” said Greene,
“But they tell me to go to
one, and I’ll get there.”
Reflecting for a moment,
Green recalled that he was
mowing grass and growing
flowers when his father
died, and he was named
caretaker.

How much time does he
spendat the Green Park? “I
guess I’m on duty 24 hours
a day, seven days a week,”
he said with a laugh. “You
can’t tell when I’ll pop in or
out.”
Green said when the Inn
was first built carbide lights
were used. “My father had
to look after the generator,
and the horses, in addition to
his other duties.”
A jovial mountaineer,
Greene likes to Idd. “I guess
I should know right much
about the Inn. I have seen
about seven managers come
and go,” he added.
“There used to be a golf
course, but its gone. I can
remember when they
mowed it with horses. Th“~*

“Waitresses had to carry
water from a spring up to the
the guests. They also had
to cut the ice and store it for
summer visitors,” Greene
added.
In a serious vein, Greene
said, “This place has been
home to me. I have a lot of
love for it.”
