Abstract:
In 1906, three doctors opened the Thermal Belt Sanatorium in Tryon for people suffering respiratory illnesses. The physicians soon discovered that more healthy people than ill ones were coming to Tryon for the climate, and they closed the sanatorium. In 1917, Carter Brown came from Michigan to explore the possibilities of opening an inn. He rented the sanatorium for two years as his residence, and in 1920, purchased and converted it into an inn. This year the structure, now known far and wide as the Pine Crest Inn, is celebrating a century of service. Jackson recounts the history of the inn from 1920 to 2006.
