The Walking Horse Hotel - circa 1917 ~ This place was right up my alley! The last picture here is our room....the hallway was long and wide and the floor creaks when you walk on it!!! (Stephanie, I wish you'd been there, you would love it!)
Someone came in a number of years ago (the previous owners) and "updated" things (ugh), the red carpet is going as soon as the new owner begins his upstairs renovations...should be some time this month. He is going to send me new pics once he has completed some of it. My pictures here really do not do this place justice, it really was very cool! The halls are adorned with some pictures of the Grand Champion Tennessee Walking horses in the early 1900's. The first and most famous, Stolling Jim, is pictured below. He's also buried behind the hotel.
I'll post a few more of these later.....these are to hold Stephanie over for a bit!
This is a link to an article done in the paper about the hotel and its new owner...great story!

You know I'm doing some serious blog stalking when I'm here twice in one day!! I would have loved to see this place-you'll have to post pics when the owner sends more of the new renovations...maybe we need a road trip to give him some help :)
