Description
A corner on the back patio at the Painted Desert Inn in eastern Arizona along US Highway 66 waits for warmer weather.
The Painted Desert Inn is a lodge in Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. It was built in 1937-1940, on the site of an earlier lodge, the Stone Tree House. It was designed in 1937 by National Park Service architect Lyle E. Bennett and others from the Park Service Branch of Plans and Design. Construction was carried out by Civilian Conservation Corps labor. After updates by Mary Jane Colter, it was operated by the Fred Harvey Company from 1947 to 1963, when it closed. Demolition was proposed in the mid-1970's, but after public protests the building was reopened for limited use in 1976. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. The old Inn buildings were extensively rehabilitated, and reopened as a museum and bookstore in 2006.
Some digital effects were applied to the original photograph after the image was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition...
