We’ve really enjoyed looking back through Quinn’s collection of historical photos and working with Skeeter Johnston Productions to recapture the scenes as they appear today. We hope you enjoy the following comparisons from past to present.
You can read up on Quinn’s history and view more historical photos here:
Aerial photo taken from the mountain behind Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort circa 1910 and current. Fannie and Martin Quinn’s house and the original bathhouses are gone, replaced with the Glacier Lodge and Quinn’s Pavilion.
Looking back across the river towards Martin and Fannie’s house circa 1900 and current. Martin Quinn and Fannie’s house stood here until the 1970s when it finally came down. Paradise Hall (event center) now highlights the riverbank.
Photo taken circa 1911 looking back down towards the original Quinn’s resort above the site of the original artisanal spring. Martin and Fannies’ house is at 11p, the first ‘guest bathhouse’ is at 2p. The ‘original’ bathhouse can be seen at 4p, followed by the original lodging quarters at 6p. Now the area has become the site of the Glacier Lodge and Quinn’s Pavilion. With extremely close examination one can see the original wood piping from the spring to the bathhouse.
Photo taken from the swinging rope bridge circa 1920 and current. The original view can almost be observed from the River View Luxury Cabins, along the bank in the current photo.
Photo taken from back near the original bathhouse looking back towards one of the original guest houses (left), Martin and Fannie’s house (center) and the first public bathhouse (right). Currently the Glacier Lodge encompasses much of the area that was once the ‘original Quinn’s.’
The original Harwood House restaurant (built in 1948) circa 1949 and current. The chimney provides the proof! The restaurant’s interior is a treasure of the period as well.
Martin Quinn and others in front of the first public bathing house at Quinn’s resort circa 1911. Other photos show an abundance of crutches left behind on the porch of the bathhouse as people no longer needed them after an extended stay, as the legends state.
