	National Park Service: Architecture in the Parks (The Ahwahnee)
		Underwood was an architect of considerable reputation and well known to Stephen Mather, Horace Albright, and others in the park service when he accepted the commission to design the Ahwahnee.
		Underwood's first large works were for the Union Pacific Railroad on Zion and Bryce Lodges, followed by the Ahwahnee, Grand Canyon Lodge on the north rim, a series of railroad stations for the Union Pacific, Timberline Lodge, Sun Valley Lodge, and Williamsburg Lodge.
		Underwood's blocky masses of the building that stepped up the structure to the penthouse gave the building a physical presence in architecture that was parallel to the presence of Half Dome in nature.

	National Park Service: Biography (Gilbert Stanley Underwood)
		Gilbert Stanley Underwood represents the National Park Service's exceptional alliance with a private architect for developing park visitor facilities.
		Underwood was recommended to the Utah Parks Company of the Union Pacific Railroad to design lodge complexes at Cedar Breaks National Monument, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park.
		Returning to the National Park Service in 1950, Underwood brought the newer ideals of the international style to the forefront by designing the Jackson Lake Lodge using textured and stained concrete in a natural setting, a style which helped set the tone for the massive building projects of the Mission 66 Program.

	KAET: Arizona Lodges The High Country
		Underwood’s great genius at the north rim is that he manages to conceal one of the biggest holes in the world.
		Underwood’s vision was really to bring people up to the lodge, and have them leave their buses and come into the front entrance of the lodge, into the lobby, without seeing the Grand Canyon.
		Underwood’s use of local materials and the lodge’s natural blending into the rock of the canyon has prompted some to suggest that perhaps this legendary architect of the 20th Century may have been influenced by that overachieving decorator from the south rim, Mary Colter.

		The legislation, signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1864, granted the land to the state of California “for public use, resort, and recreation … inalienable for all time.” The Ahwahnee itself was conceived less than a decade after the National Park Service was established in 1916, and it remains one of that agency’s choicest man-made properties.
		The Ahwahnee’s architect was Los Angeles-based Gilbert Stanley Underwood, whose other works include the Grand Canyon Lodge, opened the year after the Ahwahnee, the Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park, opened in 1954, and a number of station designs for the Union Pacific Railroad, including the one in Omaha.
		At the base of Yosemite’s stupendous rock formations called the Royal Arches, the hotel Underwood planned has a Y-shaped structure of three wings that pivot around a central six-story tower.
