PLAN SANITARIUM OR SUMMER RESORT
Beautiful Property at Grass Valley Is Leased by Califomia Capitalists,
IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED
No Expense Will Be Spared to Make Spot One of Most Ideal in Nevada County,
Special to the Union. GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), July 25. —With the leasing of the S
beautiful Glenbrook hotel property between Nevada City and Grass Valley, from Elisha #é aaa
Andrews by Edward H. Morrell, 'Nevada county will soon have a modern .summer resort or
another sanitarium. Morrell represents California capillists whose names he refuses to divulge at
present and declares that although it has not been definitely decided whether to build a summer
resort or Sanitarium, whatever will be built will be of the most modern and attractive type. No
expense will he spared, he says, in making the place one of the garden spots of Nevada county
It is expected that arrangements will be completed by November 1. MAY HAVE SANITARIUM.
We have not decided just what we will turn tills beautiful spot into,” said Morrell, “but you can
depend upon it that we mean business and do not wish to talk much about the matter until we
have made decisive plans. We are considering three propositions, going into each one
issue. “1 believe the spot is ideally located for a sanitarium,” continued Morrell, “and should we
decide to build this class of an institution we will erect a large number of cottages over the entire
acreage. The cottages will be of modern type, perfectly sanitary, and will be equipped with every
convenience for the sick. The climate here is ideal for the sick and such an Institution would be
deservedly patronized, for it is doubtful if there are other cities of the size of Grass Valley that
are fortunate enough to be well represented in the mcdical profession, especially by young,
energetic men. who have every reason to give close application to their work.
SURROUNDED BY ALL BEAUTIES. “Glenwood, being located midway between the two cities
and being surrounded with ail the beauties of the foothills, would be an ideal spot for a summet
resort. During the last few years . h.ave visited nearly every summer resort in the west, and
none can surpass this spot . have chosen. You have certainly got the climate and the
environments here, and if we got the tourist' here once we will always be sure of getting them
back.” In speaking of The proposed summer resort Morrell thought It more feasible than either
of the .other two projects. He stated that if his men desired to build a summer resort they would
erect a handsome hotel where the old Glenbrook hotel now stands. "It woulc not be my idea to
tear down the Glenbrook structure,” said Morrell, “for it now stands on a solid foundation. Should
we decide to build the hotel we would make additions, probably add another story to the
building , completely renovate the interior and give the entire building the concrete finish whieh
is now being used throughout the state. We would place in tennis courts and install all other
accessories for the pleasure of the tourists. “Whatever is decided upon, itis a positive fact that a
