Silcox Hut, Mountain hut at Timberline Lodge, United States
The Silcox Hut stands at 6,950 feet elevation on Mount Hood, featuring thick stone walls and heavy timber construction sunk into the mountainside.
Built in 1939 by the Works Progress Administration, this structure initially served as the upper terminal of the Magic Mile chairlift until its relocation in 1962.
The building bears the name of Ferdinand Silcox, the fifth Chief of the Forest Service who supported the development of recreational facilities in national forests.
The hut provides overnight accommodations for up to 24 guests and includes dining services, making it suitable for group events and mountain retreats.
The structure contains a bar crafted from a 500-year-old Douglas-fir slab and features engineering solutions to withstand 25 feet of compacted snow.
