Overlook Hotel
The overlook hotel is a four-story structure measuring approximately 40,000 square feet. The exterior walls at ground level are made of heavy rubble masonry using boulders from nearby areas. From the first floor, heavy timber is used. The hexagonal central section of the head house is sixty feet wide and has a six-sided chimney stack that measures ninety feet high by fourteen feet. Each of the six fireplace openings, 3 on the ground floor and 3 on the first floor, is 5 feet wide by seven feet tall. The head house is flanked by two wings that run west and southeast. The building is made from Oregon woods, including cedar, Douglas Fir, western juniper, and hemlock.
Margery Hoffman Smith, Oregon Arts Project administrator, directed Federal Art Project contributions. Smith designed many textiles and rug designs. The iconic "snow goose", a bronze weather vane weighing 750 pounds, was designed by Smith. Smith took inspiration from the Tenino art to create the lodge chimney's abstract forms. Smith was likely to be familiar with William Gray Purcell who is a Portland resident. Smith noticed the Prairie School aesthetic in tables, chairs, and sectional sofas. She requested murals, paintings, and carvings by Oregon's WPA artists.
