View of the quaint, octagonal entrance to the Arlington Mountain lodge, located in the beautiful and scenic resort of Lake Arrowhead. The stone arch appears to be "tiered", and a multi-panel wooden door peeks from inside the arch. Exposed beams can be seen throughout the exterior, making the lodge resemble an inn in Normandy. Two tall, thin, hanging lanterns and several small potted shrubs decorate the entrance. Photograph dated: June 1923. The Arlington Mountain Lodge, located in the mountain resort of Lake Arrowhead, opened its doors on June 23, 1923 to one thousand affluent guests. These special guests enjoyed music, toured the drawing rooms, the gracious bedchambers with private baths, and the beautiful terrace overlooking Lake Arrowhead. The impressive lobby, dubbed "The Great Hall", featured luxurious carpeting, a granite fireplace, a grand staircase, and a ceiling that vaulted forty-five feet.
