Mt Washington hotel began life in 1902 as a luxury railway hotel at the foot of Mt Washington, New Hampshire’s highest peak. In 1944 the hotel was rescued from obscurity by holding the Bretton Woods Conference where the International Monetary Fund was created. Today the hotel is an all season resort.

The reading foyer is off the main lobby of the hotel.

The entrance to the reading room is under the Moose at the right of the lobby.

Note: NH blogger Janice Brown has a nice post about the Mt Washington hotel:
The Ghost of Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods NH
Janice says:”The view is breathtaking, the hotel is lavish, and some of the guests may be–well–dead.”

Dead? What is that all about?
