The "Stockade Group" Visitor Center |
The "Yakima Park Stockade Group" buildings at Sunrise were built in the 1930s–1940s,
modeled consciously on frontier blockhouses. I think that they would look familiar to a Roman legionary in first-century Germania as well — who thought that the roots of the National Park Service ran that deep?

Sunrise Lodge, side view |
Sunrise Lodge was built in 1931,
originally as part of a never-competed resort hotel. Behind me — but un-photographed — was a parkitectural "comfort station" t
hat is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
