Eagle Newel Post (Oregon)

We just recently spent a weekend in Vancouver, Washington with my in-laws and took the opportunity to visit my dear friend Linda. In response to that visit, she sent this captivating postcard!

The legend says (hyperlinks mine, of course): Eagle Newel Post, Timberline Lodge, Oregon. Designed by Florence Thomas, the Eagle Newel Post is located at the South stairway landing to the Main Lounge on the first floor. The Newel posts were carved from old telephone poles which were recycled by the WPA for this purpose. Twelve plaster castings from Paris were copied by WPA workers between 1935 and 1937, and all of the carvings are featured throughout the lodge.
