The Timberline Lodge sits on Mount Hood in Oregon. The lodge was built during the Great Depression. It was finished in 1938. When completed it was dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Times were hard and money was short. To help, many recycled materials were used in the lodge. Old telephone posts were carved into staircases. Local rocks were made into fireplaces. And old ox yokes were turned into lamps. The Lodge is now a popular ski resort.
