Alfheim Lodge

Lake Valhalla, Cold Spring, New York

Reconstruction, fitting-out & furnishing of a Rustic Storybook Style Lodge as intended in 1942, but interrupted by World War II. With its buttressed fieldstone and half-log walls, multi-color asphalt shingles, swooping peaked roofs, knotty pine interiors, awnings and small-paned steel and wood windows, Alfheim Lodge is characteristic of the Rustic Storybook Style prevalent in the Lake Valhalla community, an historic community listed in the National & New York State Registers of Historic Places.
