Historical Data	The Arlington Mountain Lodge, located in the mountain resort of Lake Arrowhead, opened its doors on June 23, 1923 to one thousand affluent guests. These special guests enjoyed music, toured the drawing rooms, the gracious bedchambers with private baths, and the beautiful terrace overlooking Lake Arrowhead. The impressive lobby, dubbed "The Great Hall", featured luxurious carpeting, a granite fireplace, a grand staircase, and a ceiling that vaulted forty-five feet. Exclusive period furniture, especially designed by Old-World craftsmen, completed the elegant setting. At that time, $15 would get one round trip transportation from Los Angeles, three meals at the Lodge, and a one-night stay. The half-million-dollar Arlington Lodge burned down in October of 1938, but was quickly rebuilt; many years later, the name was changed to Arrowhead Lodge. In 1982, the spectacular multi-purpose Lake Arrowhead Resort and conference center (previously Arrowhead Hilton Lodge), was built on the site of the original Arlington Mountain Lodge, and opened its doors in November of the same year. Lake Arrowhead is an unincorporated community and scenic mountain resort in San Bernardino County, adjacent to the Lake Arrowhead Reservoir; it has been a popular recreational area and one of the premier mountain resorts in Southern California for almost 100 years.
Description	View of the quaint, octagonal entrance to the Arlington Mountain lodge, located in the beautiful and scenic resort of Lake Arrowhead. The stone arch appears to be "tiered", and a multi-panel wooden door peeks from inside the arch. Exposed beams can be seen throughout the exterior, making the lodge resemble an inn in Normandy. Two tall, thin, hanging lanterns and several small potted shrubs decorate the entrance. Photograph dated: June 1923.
