Exposed Alaska Yellow Cedar logs characterize the lobby of Paradise Inn. The structural system of posts, beams and trusses is augmented by a system of cables, and iron straps (late 1970s) wrapped around the first-floor structural posts to keep them from checking under heavy snow loads. The lobby has a parquet floor (non-historic) and wall finishes of beaded siding and painted fiberboard. Japanese lanterns, common in resort hotels of that period, were replaced with parchment-colored shades painted with pictures of local fauna.²⁴
