CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY

JASPER PARK LODGE, THE CLUBHOUSE c1940's












HISTORICAL NARRATIVE

Jasper Park Lodge has a firmly embedded place in the history of tourism in the Canadian Rockies. Its legacy began in 1915, in association with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to challenge the Canadian Pacific Railway's Banff Springs Hotel. Originally called 'Tent City', it consisted of a few tents on the shores of beautiful Lac Beauvert.

Under the newly formed Canadian National Railway, the main building was erected in the winter of 1922 - 1923. At 250 feet long and 200 feet wide, it was reputed to be the largest single-storey long structure in the world. Eight log bungalows were also built for guests, and expansion proceeded through 1923. Some of these magnificent original cabins still stand today. The 1920s saw the addition of Jasper's world-famous golf course, designed by master architect Stanley Thompson. Between the early 1940s and early 1950s, most of the original log cabins were replaced with modern attractive cedar chalets capable of housing 650 guests. Bing Crosby often visited as did numerous other celebrities.

Disaster struck on July 15, 1952 (9:52pm), when a fire that started in a cloak room in the main building, burned till dawn destroying the structure completely, despite efforts by fire crews & volunteers. No injuries were recorded partly due to the alarms sounded by a Fire Warden. By September of the same year, the concrete foundation for a new building was poured on the exact site of the old lodge. The new building was completed in June, 1953, using Manitoba Tindale stone, and finished with a cedar roof.

Canadian National Hotels sold Jasper Park Lodge to Canadian Pacific Hotels in 1988 and it was that time that the Lodge opened year-round. Today, the Lodge is owned by Fairmont Hotels and consists of the main building, boutiques, a sports lounge, dining facilities, and 56 adjacent chalets for a total room count of 446. Jasper Park Lodge's main building features stunning views of its surroundings and epitomizes the Grand Canadian Lodge Experience. Jasper Park Lodge is located in Jasper National Park, just 7 km (3 miles) from the town of Jasper.
