Regarding Lambuth Inn. Excerpt from the National
this page online
The Lambeth Inn, also called the Mission Centenary Inn and the Lambeth Hotel at various times, is the main hotel facility of the Lake Junaluska Assembly, located in Haywood County in the North Carolina mountains. The Lake Junaluska Assembly, which opened in 1913, houses a variety of Methodist conferences, seminars, and meetings. The Assembly is owned and operated by the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church and encompasses approximately 2500 acres and a 250 acre lake. Since 1952, the World Methodist Council has had it s American headquarters at Lake Junaluska. Against a backdrop of wooded mountainsides, the three-story frame and brick Lambuth Inn stands as a picturesque focal point in the Lake Junaluska Assembly, sited slightly above the other buildings which line the northern lakeshore. Constructed in 1921 and enlarged in the 1950s, the Lambuth Inn is a handsome, fully articulated example of Neoclassical Revival architecture, rare in its use for a mountain inn.
