Historic Hood River
Cloud Cap Portrait

Notes
I like the composition of this W.D. Rogers view of the north entrance to Cloud Cap Inn. Based on his years of work I would date this “circa 1904”. Sarah Langille managed the inn in that era. It’s possible she’s the woman on the right in this photo, but it’s not a clear enough view to be confident.

Did she close the Inn in the winter and come down to Hood River?

I sure hope so! I think the snow pretty well covers that doorway in the winter.
