TO OLD MAIN

David Whitney House

Home to David Whitney, the greatest lumber baron of his day, this Jasper stone beauty declined for several years while serving as the offices of the Visiting Nurses Association.

In the 1980's it was converted into a five star restaurant restoring its interior wealth of elaborate woodwork and stain glass windows.

You will not be disappointed by stopping there for lunch as you tour the ruins.
