Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Echo Mountain House, taken from Trails magazine, [s.d.]. The massive hotel is in the background at center, prominently perched on a mountainside. It is three stories high, with a domed tower at right and a wrap around porch. The tracks of the Echo Mountain Inclined Railway run from the foreground at left, past the front of the house, and into the distance at right. A small building is to the right of the tracks, and a low shed is in the foreground at center. There is an American flag on the shed, and unidentified flags fly from the other two buildings. The hotel was built in 1893 and burned on February 5, 1900.
