It was built in the 1930s as part of the Works Progress Administration, an effort by the US Government to support employment during the Great Depression. It has some very interesting features, including a massive fireplace in the centre of its lobby, loosely reminding us of older Fairmont hotels such as the Banff Springs Hotel, although Timberline is not nearly as old or as grand as these castles.
