Answer:

Bedford Alum Springs Hotel - Summer 1956

This c.1870s resort (learn more about the hotel) stands today at the intersection of Turkey Foot Road and Alum Springs Road (historic Lynchburg-Salem Turnpike - foreground).  Note the pre-cursor to Rt. 460 in the background.  The Friends of New London office (New London Methodist Church) is pictured in the lower right-hand corner of the photo.  To the left of the church is the former New London Post Office.

See more historic photos at the New London Gallery.
