Description
Aged black-and-white sepia photo of the charming cabins, including several original structures, Singer Tavern Cottages, that comprise part of the Lake Crescent Lodge complex. The lodge is an historic resort situated on the shores of Lake Crescent, west of Port Angeles, on the north shore of the state of Washington.
One of the most famous guests of the lodge was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who stayed in one of the cabins that has since been demolished. Several new cabins were built in the style of the original ones that date to the early 1930s. The Singer Tavern Cottages, I've learned, is their name.
In addition to several original cabins, the lodge itself is original, as are the beams of the pier. Please see my Washington and Port Angeles albums for other images of Lake Crescent, the lodge, pier, and surrounding area. This photographer recommends it as a wonderful vacation destination that should include a ferry ride to Victoria, B.C., Canada, and all that it offers too.
Located on the Olympic Peninsula within Olympic National Park, the Lodge is owned by the National Park Service and operated by Aramark Parks and Destinations. The Lodge resort is open seasonally from early May until the end of October, with select cabins available during the winter months. Hiking and boating are popular activities for guests, along with hiking opportunities on nearby mountains and in the adjoining forests of cypress and fir.

Karen, you are so perceptive. That's exactly what I intended to capture, and I appreciate your kind words. Thank you!

Connie, this is so lovely. Your excellent choice to feature this in sepia adds to the air of 'days gone by' and an era of family vacations at the lake. These cabins have seen lots of fun, lots of family and deserve their 'day in the sun' thanks to you!
