Paradise Inn Great Hall: Table, Grandfather Clock & Fireplace | Additional Description:
from Paradise Inn Restaurant Menu: A local German furniture craftsman, Hans Fraehnke, was employed in 1916 to construct lobby furniture. He labored seven summers and one winter fashioning massive pieces out of Alaska yellow cedar. The old craftsman worked by lamplight, fashioning the hand-hewn cedar with an adz. The huge 1500 lb. tables at each end of the lobby and the regal throne-like chairs still in the lobby today are Fraehnke's work. In the southwest corner of the great hall is probably Fraehnke's most impressive piece, a 14-foot tall hand hewed cedar grandfather clock.
