Not only on a wall.
“The Mount Washington Hotel at Bretton Woods — a long white Spanish-Renaissance facade with a deep red roof, sitting on an open shelf with the Presidential Range filling the horizon behind it. Opened in 1902 by railroad investor Joseph Stickney, the hotel hosted the 1944 United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference that set the post-war exchange-rate order. Mount Washington itself, at 6,288 feet the highest summit in the Northeast, rises directly to the east. The view from the south lawn has not really changed. from the studio

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

The place, in three passes.
The Mount Washington Hotel sits in Bretton Woods, a village in the town of Carroll in Coos County, New Hampshire, at the northern end of Crawford Notch. The hotel opened on July 28, 1902, built by Pennsylvania coal and railroad investor Joseph Stickney to a Spanish-Renaissance design by New York architect Charles Alling Gifford. The building's long white stucco facade, octagonal towers, and red roof are framed against the Presidential Range, with Mount Washington — at 6,288 feet, the highest peak in the northeastern United States — directly to the east.
In July 1944, the hotel hosted the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, in which delegates from forty-four allied nations established the post-war international exchange-rate system and the institutions that became the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The agreement signed at Bretton Woods governed global currency relations for nearly three decades. The Gold Room where the accord was signed is preserved inside the hotel. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
The hotel — now the Omni Mount Washington Resort — operates year-round and sits along US Route 302, about thirty minutes north of North Conway and ten minutes south of Twin Mountain. The Bretton Woods ski area rises on the slopes opposite, and the Cog Railway up Mount Washington is about a fifteen-minute drive east. The south lawn is open to non-guests for the view, and the hotel runs guided history tours that visit the Gold Room and the original 1902 dining room.
