Photograph of the interior of the Alpine Tavern on Mount Lowe, California, [s.d.]. The motto over the fireplace reads, "Ye Ornament of a House is ye Guest who doth Frequent it." A group of five people all dressed in dark clothing sit in rocking chairs near the hearth. The walls are natural stone. The ceiling rafters are bare. Part of a rocky embankment is visible through the windows on either side of the chimney.
