21 / In The Garden
Howard Sewall’s In the Garden was added to Timberline lodge in 1980, when it was donated by the Metropolitan Arts Commission, Portland.
An alcove of more durable wood tables and arched-back dining chairs gives Ram’s Head dining guests a gorgeous southern Oregon valley view of the Cascade Range during their meal. Mt Jefferson, Broken Top and the Three Sisters are more mountain neighbors that stand as a connective spine of volcanoes, known as the “Ring of Fire.” Handwoven draperies inside the dining alcove are true to the spirit of the originals of the 1930s and feature the era’s bright colors and horizontal stripes.
As you follow counter-clockwise toward the bar, look over the balcony at the side of the chimney for a flying bird over three triangles (mountain peaks) petroglyph design.
