At the turn of the century, Wentworth Hall sported an attractive Casino, with "spacious smoking and billiard parlours, cafe, et cetera; while overhead a large handsome ballroom is brilliantly illuminated by its overarching electric lights. Here the guests dance every Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Two formal balls are held each season." So goes the text of a booklet available to guests in the twenties: "Wentworth Hall is situated in an amphitheater, rimmed by the noblest mountain peaks of the region. On one side is Mount Washington, on the other Kearsarge, both within easy driving distance, while Thorn Mountain, Tin Mountain, Spruce Mountain, Doublehead, Black Mountain, Giant's Stairs, Iron Mountain, the Moat Range, and a host of others guard this happy valley, which is encircled by the Wildcat and Glen Ellis Rivers. Both of these noted streams unite their forces near Wentworth Hall, and flow on to the Saco, three miles distant."
