Front Desk, Timberline Lodge

Just around the corner from the Mosaic is the current location of the front desk for the lodge. Originally the front desk was one floor up on the 1st floor, since that was where the main front door of the Lodge is. The front desk was relocated to the ground floor when the new ski lodge was built across the street. Notice the light fixture made to look like an oxen yoke and the massive iron rings that hold it. Back in the early days of the northwest logging industry teams of oxen were used to pull cut logs off of the steep mountain sides.
