The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, has been the gathering spot for the powerful and wealthy in America since 1778 when they first began coming to "take the waters" from the sulphur spring pictured below.

The white columned spring house stands as the symbol for what was then known as White Sulphur Springs the harbinger of the current luxurious resort known as The Greenbrier.

Presidents Museum Lee's cottage

The first visitors who came to bathe and drink of the health giving waters stayed in cottages, some of which still stand, the most famous being the cottage with the plaque proclaiming that Robert E. Lee stayed there. Presidents visits are memorialized in the Presidents Museum with its beautiful murals depicting the history of the Greenbrier.

Carleton Varney was commissioned by Jim Justice to extend the "High Style of Dorothy Draper" to the new concept for the Greenbrier with its new entertainment venue and Casino Club.

The decor is stunningly vibrant with signature color giving the Greenbrier its unique flair.
