This photographic record of Spring Lakeas development illustrates the remarkable architectural tradition whose legacy remains evident in this elegant resort today. From Ballingarry and the Casino
to the churches and the New Monmouth Hotel, Spring
Lakeas stunning built environment is vividly displayed in over two hundred photographs contained in this volume.
