Abstract:
An ironic twist of fate has transformed the towering skeleton of a million dollar hotel on Jump-off Mountain near Hendersonville, North Carolina into a school building. Following the western North Carolina bonanza days of 1924-25, the half completed 13-story Fleetwood Hotel stood a constant reminder of a vanished dream. Four years ago a group of men pushed to the mountain top and began dismantling the structure, using pieces for new buildings for the Pisgah Institute, west of Asheville.
