This rare Wopsy Hotel image was part of a group of 4 negatives in the Altoona Area Public Library photo collection. The first of the remaining three is a Wopsy Locomotive with open summer passenger cars on the mountain. The remaining two are interior images of the two dining rooms at the Wopsy Hotel. Those other three appear on this website.

A newspaper article in the Altoona Mirror from July 15,1891 describes the crowds on the mountain and lists the attractions as:

• Capacious spring house
• Ice-cold well water with pump attachment
• A two-horse coach between Wopsy and Highland fling, a village three miles distant, in constant motion
• A photograph gallery
• A herd of well-provided-for milch cows
• Lawn tennis grounds
• Swings
• A lunch pavilion
• A dancing pavilion
• Hotel decorated with flags and bunting
• Nearly one hundred acres of highly cultivated land, upon which to draw for edible supplies
• A courteous and efficient a hotel manager as lives above ground
