History

A new hotel went up on the same site, eventually to be named for Walter Russell Lambuth Walter Lambuth. The population was 2,675 at the 2000 census. There were only 13 homes, and no hotel until 1914, so 4000 people had to stay elsewhere. Junaluska Inn was built in 1917 but burned the next year. Stuart Auditorium, named for the first director of the assembly , was enclosed, and The World Methodist Council moved its headquarters to Lake Junaluska, in the 1950s .
