- some one hundred and fifty years ago, a wealthy family - the winthrops - came to a small, poor town with nothing but their money and a wish to help the town flourish. to make it their home. in eighteen fifty-one, the winthrops began to help build the town into something bigger. this included their famous winthrop hotel, which was built where an old bank used to stand, torn down just a decade before.
the hotel was small at first, but as the town gained more and more visitors, it began to expand. edward lyle winthrop, the founder of the hotel, was a likeable man with many friends and business partners. unfortunately he died in eighteen fifty-five, just two years after the hotel had first been established, in a robbery gone wrong. his wife, amara, took the place over and helped it grow. she gave it the beautiful design it still holds.
it was passed down through the family, generation after generation. and now, in 2003, arthur winthrop, the last man standing, is throwing a party. a little masquerade ball, in honour of itβs one hundred and fiftieth year since itβs establishment;
You are cordially invited to spend the night at the Winthrop Hotel. A night full of drinks,
music, dancing and a plethora of other activities. This party will be to celebrate the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the hotelβs founding. It will commence at 19:00pm.
Please wear clothing in the style of 1850 formal wear.
Yours Sincerely,
Arthur Winthrop.
- however, despite the good intentions of mr winthrop, the party is unfortunately cut short due to an.. incident. you see, this is the day the winthrop family goes extinct.
