Lodge room decorated in ornate Gothic style, designed by the architectural firm of Sloan and Stewart. Etcher and lithographer Max Rosenthal (1833-1918) was an early leader in the art of chromo-lithography. This view is considered an outstanding example of the visual effect that was achieved by the new color process.
