Glen Summit Hotel

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a set of train tracks running diagonally from the lower left corner to the center right edge, leading toward a large building. In the foreground, the tracks and a raised wooden platform dominate, suggesting a functional space. The horizon aligns with the roofline of the building, slightly elevated on a grassy hill. Trees dot the slope leading to the building, contrasting against the windows and architectural detailing. The image has a vintage, sepia-toned palette, giving it an aged appearance. Additional structures and trees are visible in the distance, fading into the background as the landscape extends away.
