  This is an awesome photo of a historic building (it was also uploaded by OSU here and credited to Frank Patterson).
  
  The "Oregon Caves Resort" was the first permanent building constructed in what would become Oregon Caves National Monument. Completed in 1924, the building was known as the "Chalet".
  
  Today the Chalet stands beside the majestic Chateau (now often called "the Lodge"). The Chateau was completed in 1934, at which time the Chalet became the gift shop and guide residence, and continues to house Park Service employees to this day. (Male park guides at Oregon Caves were/are known as "cavemen", females as "cave princesses".)

  The 3rd floor and expanded archway were added to the Chalet in 1942.
