This drawing of Highland Inn indicates it was near York, Penna. The plans were to build this inn on a hillside overlooking Highland Park. The location was “at the high point on an extension of Herman Avenue into West Manchester Township.” Continue reading for drawing of the whole inn.

This drawing of Highland Inn by J. A. Dempwolf, appeared in the September 16, 1893 issue of American Architect and Building News.

I have this page framed and hanging on the wall at home.  I’ve always thought it was a neat design with all those gables, surrounding porch and lookout tower above the central staircase.  I’ve never been able to find out any history about Highland Inn; was just planned and never built?
