Eighth Wonder was the title of an event that capped a massive ten year restoration of the West Baden Springs Hotel in West Baden, Indiana. The hotel and its grounds, originally constructed in 1902, are like something out of the Wizard of Oz. Centered around an enormous domed atrium, the hotel stood as the largest free-spanning dome in the world for many years. Legendary as a vacation spot for early twentieth century gangsters and movie stars, the structure had fallen into dangerous disrepair. We were asked to design an invitation and program for the event that would celebrate West Baden’s return to form as one of the world’s eight wonders.
