Scope and content
- The Paradise Inn was originally built in 1916 and 1917. Architects Heath, Gove and Bell of Tacoma chose native materials for the Inn structure. The stone for the foundation was quarried locally and the logs for the structure were hauled from a nearby forest. The inn was closed in 2006 for two years to perform renovations and structural work to allow the inn to withstand a large earthquake. This was done as part of a 30 million dollar project which also included the groundbreaking for a new visitor center at Paradise. The inn was reopened in May 2008.
