Ponderosa Lodge, Bryce Canyon NP, UT
Bryce Canyon NP, UT (Garfield County)
Also included in the NRHP boundary expansion proposal is the area currently occupied by the two modern Concessionaire Dormitories (Ponderosa and Whispering Pines). These structures are not contributing to the historic character of the landscape. As was discussed in the previous chapter, their materials, scale and siting upon the land are incongruous with the Rustic and Simplified Rustic style of the historic landscape. Their construction was not consistent with the careful site planning doctrines of landscape architecture that characterize the period of significance. However it is the land upon which these dormitory buildings sit that has value as a potentially contributing feature within the period of significance - regardless of the presence of the non-contributing structures.
