LeConte Memorial Lodge, Tudor Revival educational center in Yosemite National Park, United States
The Y-shaped stone structure features steep pitched roofs, rough-hewn granite walls, and exposed beams that reflect the natural elements of Yosemite Valley.
Built in 1903 and relocated in 1919, the lodge commemorates Joseph LeConte, a founding Sierra Club member who contributed to geological studies in Yosemite.
The structure functions as a conservation library and education center, holding collections about Yosemite's natural history and Sierra Club's environmental initiatives.
Located at shuttle stop 12 across from Housekeeping Camp, the center operates from May through September, Wednesday to Sunday, between 10 AM and 4 PM.
The building's construction used granite blocks arranged in rough-coursed ashlar pattern, distinguishing it from other park structures that employed rubble coursing.
