people around the Springs Valley area which includes West Baden Springs
and French Lick as well as the many people involved in the restoration of

Wonder of the World".
The $32 million partial restoration of the historic hotel was completed in
October 1998 by Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and Cook Group,
Inc. of Bloomington, Indiana.
Currently, Historic
Landmarks is searching for a new owner before completing the restoration.
