Historic Crater Lake Lodge in the Evening - stock photo

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USA - September 25, 2012: Crater Lake Lodge was built in 1915 to provide overnight accommodation for visitors to Crater Lake. The lodge is located on the southwest rim, 1,000 feet above Crater Lake. In 1967, the National Park Service acquired the Crater Lake Lodge and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The building continued to deteriorate due to the harsh environment and lack of funds for maintenance. Despite being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the National Park Service scheduled the building to be demolished. The decision was later reversed due to public opposition. In 1988, the National Park Service approved a plan to rebuild the lodge as part of a comprehensive effort to redevelop the entire Rim Village. Crater Lake Lodge is located in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USA.
