The guardrail along the road consisted of 24-inch posts set 8 feet on center, with a single 14-inch diameter log railing. The smaller guard rail was comprised of 14-inch posts and 8-inch rails and was constructed around the inside loop of the lodge parking lot, the outer south end of the loop, behind the west parking strip, and at the entrance to the campground. The timbers for all guardrails were selected from the forests within the park, and a large share of the costs associated with the fabrication of these structures was in the labor costs of felling trees, peeling the logs, and hauling them to the job. By the end of January 1929, all of the posts had been set and approximately 90 percent of them had been framed (ready for the railing). About 75 percent of the railing had been framed and was ready to be bolted to the posts. In September of that year, all but 200 feet of the log guardrail was complete. The following year, the job was completed and in October all log guardrails were stained with “Cabot’s brown stain,” in order to enhance the “visual appearance” of the structure.

27. Log guardrails remained in place around the lodge’s lower parking area until 1963.
