The history, art and craft of an American Icon.
By Sarah Baker Munro.

Just released on July 9, 2009, this guide to the Grand Lodge on Oregon’s Mt.Hood, offers a walk through time with many historical photos included. Anyone familiar with Timberline Lodge, or anyone interested in American history, will be fascinated with the descriptions, the art, the WPA workmanship and the stories surrounding the lodge which became a National Landmark in 1977. Franklin D. Roosevelt was on hand to dedicate this magnificent icon in September, 1937.

The lodge was constructed and furnished entirely by hand. This book offers indelible firsthand stories,rare historical photography and a deep glimpse into the Arts and Crafts movement up to today. It also contains a complete guide to artists, art and furnishings of this national treasure. Certainly worth the read and a treasure trove of American history.
