Mist Falls Lodge
Multnomah Lodge
Old Multnomah Lodge Chimney from HCRH (2013)Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Oregon. January 20, 2013
"...Mist Lodge (aka Multnomah Lodge) pre-dated Multnomah Falls Lodge. Built nearly directly below Mist Falls, the structure suffered severe damage from heavy snowfall during the winter of 1920-21. The accumulation of snow caused the lodge roof to collapse. That winter, huge snowdrifts blocked the CRH for several weeks and deep, glacier-like drifts near Oneonta were not entirely cleared until spring. After being restored and reopened, Mist Lodge operated until it burned in 1929. Because of the onset of the Depression, it was not rebuilt. Another restaurant operated in the area for a relatively short time, Mrs. W.J. Gebott owned and managed the Jack-O-Lantern, located near Horsetail Falls."

"Mist Falls, which Lewis and Clark described as follows: '...while other small streams precipitate themselves from a still greater elevation and evaporating in a mist again collect and form a second cascade before they reach the bottom of the rocks' Mist Lodge opened in 1916; burned in 1929.
