The lodge was completed in 1928 and burned in 1932. An oleograph
is a photogravure printed on oilcloth to simulate an original
oil painting. This one is quite convincing. Large railroad
prints were published, framed and distributed to hotels and
travel agencies to display scenery along rights of way and
stimulate ticket sales. Attractive, they are quite collectible
today.
