Building History

The boy's boarding school, Boyland II, was renovated to become the luxurious Samarkand Hotel in 1920 by the architecure firm of Ingwerson and Dennison. It occupied 32 acres and had a Persian-themed interior and exterior. Hotel employees, to accentuate the romantic effect wore turbans and Persian slippers. (See Robin S.
