El hotel Four Seasons fue construido en el lugar de la actual Universidad Lincoln Memorial en 1892 por una empresa inmobiliaria inglesa, la American Association Limited, dirigida localmente por el extravagante empresario Alexander Arthur . En ese momento, sus promotores informaron que era el hotel más grande de Estados Unidos. El edificio principal tenía cuatro pisos de altura con un vestíbulo de 75 pies cuadrados y un comedor de 50 por 160 pies. Se informó que contenía 700 habitaciones. También se incluían en el complejo un hospital, una posada, un sanatorio y otros edificios más pequeños. El hotel no fue un éxito y fue demolido en 1895. Durante su funcionamiento, el Hotel Four Seasons ofrecía paseos en calesa hasta la cercana English Cave, que había sido mejorada con escaleras, pasarelas y puentes de madera. Los restos podridos de estas estructuras de madera todavía se pueden ver en la cueva. [6]
