Hotel in Rhea Springs

This picture was featured in a promotional album intended to encourage visits to Rhea Springs, TN, "The Center of Health." Owner of hotel at the time was Dr. J.C. Wasson. My grandmother Blanche Wasson had two ponies, both of which are pictured, one being held by her father, Chapman Wasson.
