Description
Photograph of the snow-covered Alpine Tavern on Mount Lowe, ca.1890-1930. The tavern, nestled amongst a forest of trees, is covered with snow. The tavern stands about three stories tall. A slope descends from right to left. "At the end of the line, deep in Grand Canyon [i.e. San Martinez Grande Canyon?], straddling the waters of Crystal Springs, and sitting at the foot of Mount Lowe was the Alpine Tavern. So named at its dedication on December 14, 1895, Ye Alpine Tavern was a modest yet imposing Swiss-style Mountain House nestled back into the hillside. It sported 12 guest rooms on its second floor, and had all the amenities of a regular hotel on the first level: kitchen, dining room, lobby, gift shop and business offices." -- unknown author.
