KELTIC LODGE AT THE HIGHLANDS

In 1939 when the National Park Service hired Stanley Thompson to design and build what he later called "the mountains and ocean" course, he told friends that it was the best contract he ever had. He was given one of the country's most scenic and awe inspiring national parks, and had just one mandate: take advantage of it. The result is an inspired piece of architecture that has proved to be one of Thompson's finest design achievements.
