Description
Silver gelatin photograph printed from original glass plate negative #46. View of the Seismograph Building built by the Loomises in 1926. It features three large windows that allow visitors to view the seismographic equipment within. This building is part of The Loomis Museum, also known as the Loomis Visitor Center, the Manzanita Lake Visitor Center and the Manzanita Lake Museum, which was built by Benjamin Franklin Loomis in 1927 near Manzanita Lake, just outside Lassen Volcanic National Park. Loomis was a local homesteader and photographer who documented the 1914 - 1917 eruptions of Lassen Peak, and was instrumental in the 1916 establishment of the national park. In 1929 Loomis donated the museum and 40 acres of surrounding lands to the National Park Service. DCB
