An illustrated 1941 article on the handwoven textiles at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, Oregon, a W.P.A. project built in 1937. It describes the lodge's architecture and the Oregon Art Project's work under designer Margery Hoffman Smith, who also taught women to weave. The handwoven pieces include dining room curtains, bedspreads and upholstery fabrics, mostly herringbone twills and crackle weave in linen warp and wool weft. Photographs show the lounges and guest rooms with their upholstery, curtains, hooked rugs and furniture.
