| 説明 | Initially built in 1937-1938, this Organic Modern-style building was designed by Arthur J. Kelsey and Charlotte Peabody Kelsey for a developer, who died in 1938 before the lodge was completed. In 1965, the disused lodge was finally completed, under the direction of Robert Opsahl, who had worked with Kelsey in the 1950s, which altered the original design, inserting many Mid-20th Century Modern stylistic elements. The building was further altered after a fire, which started in the hotel kitchen, damaged the central wing of the building in 1968. The original section of the building is U-shaped and surrounds a courtyard, and was modified during the completion of the building with the addition of a large glass window to the front gable of the central wing, a porch with angled columns on the Courtyard side of the guest room wing, which was altered with the removal of the central hallway and enlargement of the guest rooms, which were now accessed via the porch, addition of a pool with a concrete deck to the courtyard, and the conversion of the garage wing on the west side of the courtyard into a guest room wing. The 1965 completion of the building included two new wings west of the original building, with a wing standing the same height as the rest of the building with a driveway underneath, a low two-story wing at the northwest section of the building, which housed several guest rooms, and the addition of a Modernist porte-cochere to the north facade of the garage wing. The building is clad in wood siding and shingles, with gabled and hipped roofs, stone terraces, rough-hewn granite piers, chimneys, and walls, ribbon windows, awning windows, and casement windows, a south wing with a prow balcony at its end, a cantilevered stone staircase on the west facade of the central wing, which formerly provided access to the managers apartment prior to the 1968 fire and subsequent renovation, and balconies, added after the 1960s, on the exterior faces of the guest room wings. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022, and was rehabilitated in 2020-2021, retaining many original features, while updating the guest rooms and converting the hotel into a more upscale establishment than it had previously been. |
