Ten National Park lodges of the West, presented in all their rustic, timeworn splendor. No historic photos here; the images of the architecture and interiors are as they look today, highlighting these storied places in a fresh, alluring way. The grand lobbies are the main stage, but elegant dining rooms, cozy guest rooms, and lively canteens alike all get their due. Beyond the buildings themselves, this book presents these sui generis properties in terms of the historical goings-on at the time, why they were built, and the players involved, highlighting notable architectural moments and period-specific furnishings.
