ca. 1934. Paradise Inn was captured at dusk in this 1934 photograph. The Inn is located in the subalpine region of Paradise Valley on the slopes of Mount Rainier. It is one of the oldest high elevation resorts in the Pacific Northwest and one of the earliest ski resorts in the nation. It was designed by the Tacoma architectural firm of Heath, Gove and Bell and was built in 1916-17 of Alaska Cedar. The trees were left after the 1885 fire and the resulting logs were weathered to a silvery glow. The design is T shaped with a 1920 annex running parallel to the main building.
