Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Design of the campus of grand buildings is regularly credited to Thomas Jefferson, the United States' retired third president. But others say his assistant in the design of the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville, Virginia, William B. Phillips, did the sketches. Unlike the relatively nearby Greenbrier Resort, which had the good fortune of being located on a railroad line, Sweet Springs relied on less convenient and less comfortable stagecoaches to deliver its clientele. Its popularity faded, and the property morphed into a tuberculosis sanitorium and, later, a nursing home before slipping into abandonment around the turn of the 21st century. Several renovation plans were floated, but it lay deteriorating during this photo visit. Its caretaker remarked that the once-grand resort was "up for auction" and that preservation of the structures could not be assured.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Forms part of: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
