Walls Stand Only At Black Rock Hotel Site Of 1908 Dream
The Black Rock Hotel once perched on Blue Ridge summits near Frederick County, finished in 1908 after a prior ruin. Fire destroyed it in 1908 and again in later years, leaving only crumbling stone walls, scattered remnants, and a broad forest reclaiming the site reachable via Appalachian Trail or nearby roads. Local efforts and historians trace the project, its fires, and the failed revival hopes, noting ownership by Harl T. Kline and lingering memories among area residents.
