Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the definitive architectural and historical record of the Wawona Hotel, an integral part of Yosemite National Park. Situated in the High Sierras and amongst spectacular vistas, the hotel complex originated in the 19th century as a station on the stagecoach route into Yosemite Valley. Overcoming challenges, the Wawona Hotel evolved into a luxurious destination in its own right. The authors meticulously delineate the physical history of the extant hotel buildings and other structures, exploring the evolution of their architectural styles from the 1870s through the 1930s. They analyze the complex's development within the context of transportation, conservation, and regional commerce, focusing on its significance as a symbol of 19th-century hospitality. The Wawona Hotel's rich history as a resort destination and its close association with notable figures, including President Ulysses S. Grant and artist Thomas Hill, are also explored. This book is not only a valuable resource for architectural historians and preservationists but also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the allure of Yosemite.
