MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK
Paradise Inn (1917)

Use of local materials, such as Alaska Yellow Cedar, evoke Alpine and other European resort architecture in the two-and-a-half-story Inn. Numerous additions have been made to the building over the last eighty years, such as the annex constructed in 1920; however, the Inn possesses remarkable integrity.
