It is made of native Henry County fieldstone, half-timbering, pebble dash stucco and a terra cotta tile roof, and has two stories, a partial basement, six fireplaces and seven upstairs bedrooms. The 488-acre grounds also hold a carriage house, manager's house, barn, shed, barbeque, stone retaining walls and a tennis court that was a rare feature in 1917. The lodge was listed for its role in commerce and recreation. It was built with the company's new mill and town, which brought an immediate million dollars to the local economy, hundreds of jobs, electricity, running water and the first maintained roads. It accommodated visiting executives, buyers and other guests, and was a setting for business deals. Its Tudor Revival design is also recognized as architecturally notable.","period_of_significance":"1917-1955","architect_builder":"Northrup, W.C.","architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th century revivals: Tudor Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The lodge remained in use through 1997, when it was put up for sale; the property has since received maintenance and repair.
