T is for Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood, Oregon. The massive mountain lodge was a WPA project, built in a mere 15 months during 1936 and 1937.

The lodge is only 3.6 miles from the summit of Mt. Hood.

Timberline Lodge is an amazing place. Have you visited?
(Most of these pictures are my own, but two were taken by the family photographer ,
and three were borrowed from the Lodge web-site.)
I'm joining Jenny Matlock for Alphabe-Thursday. And The Colorado Lady for Vintage Thingie Thursday. I hope you will have time to pop over and visit some of the other posts.

Oh my gosh...what an awesome looking lodge...and the view!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewow. looks like it was a fabulous place to celebrate that big event with your parents. many special moments filed away, and memories made there I am sure... thanks for sharing all the beautiful places with us on your blog...
I love buildings with lots of wood, whether in the structure or the decor. This one is beautiful! And what a view..!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing place and wonderful pictures of a special time. The WPA built a similar Lodge at Fort Davis, Texas. It's a great place to visit in the Davis Mountains. When it's too hot to stand down here in Desert West Texas, we love to go to the mountains where it is cool and like stepping back in time...with AC. Thanks for sharing this post and Timerline Lodge. I'd love to visit there...maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI've never been there although it's on my list of "Places to Go Before I'm 60"!! {I guess I have eight years to plan it.}
My sons have been to Mt. Hood...they obviously forgot to bring me with!

Timberline Lodge is so beautiful! We use to take our children there for Christmas eve, it was magical.
ReplyDeleteOregon has so many wonderful sites to see but every visitor should make time to see Timberline and the mountain. Beautiful photos and a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
ReplyDeleteI have never been, but it looks beautiful. That will have to be a place I go and visit.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry I'm late on this post, but I just wanted to say how in love I am with Oregon and Washington and how much I loved seeing your post. I've never been to that lodge, but it looks absolutely relaxing and beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
