The Donoho Hotel, a beloved landmark in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, was tragically destroyed by a fire in November 2025. This scale model serves as a respectful tribute to its 109-year history and its significance as one of the last great ""mineral springs"" resorts of the South. Completed in 1916, this grand wooden structure was a premier example of early 20th-century resort architecture. The model captures the hotel’s most defining feature: the expansive, full-length double-decker verandas that wrapped around the entire front facade and side wings. These porches were central to the guest experience, reflecting a bygone era of leisure and Southern hospitality. A unique architectural detail preserved in this replica is the exterior-only access to guest rooms. In keeping with the original design, there were no internal hallways; instead, each room opened directly onto the wide verandas through individual wood-paneled doors. The model highlights this symmetrical layout, featuring the signature white siding, tall sash windows, and the prominent two-tier columns that flanked the main entrance. While the physical building is no longer standing, this miniature keeps the memory of the Donoho Hotel alive. It is a detailed representation of the ""T-shaped"" structure that hosted presidents and music legends alike, standing as a testament to the enduring heritage of Middle Tennessee.

Unfortunately we weren't able to fully recover the back side. If you have any pictures, please send them my way and I will update the building.
