| The Parade hotel in West Baden, IN is
built around a large circular atrium. Like the Greenbrier in WV, it
advertized the medicinal benefits of its mineral springs to attract
wealthy customers in the 19th century. |

This trolley runs between the West Baden Springs
and French Lick hotels. |

 |
| The West Baden Springs hotel gardens are
spectacular, but flooding by tropical storm Bill forced the
concours to move indoors at French Lick. |
This walkway is about two feet under water. |
