The Great Hall, Sunriver, OR 97707

Sunriver, Oregon is now a destination resort but it was once the training ground for our US Army Troops. In the 1940's Camp Abbot was the training ground for "Army Grunts" that would soon be heading to WWII and the Army Corps of Engineers.

 The Great Hall is all that remains from this military complex. Once designed to be the Officers' Club it is now one of the most prestigious buildings in Sunriver. This beautiful log structure with its massive open beams now serves as the meeting center for the resort.

Sometimes in our busy schedules it is nice to have the opportunity to turn back the  hands of time. When you step through the massive doors of the Great Hall you can almost hear the past echo down the main hall.

The building has had a couple renovations over the years, each has been careful to maintain the integrity of the original building. The Great Hall sports several meeting rooms of various sizes. Viewing this property in person is by far the best way to experience it but for those of you that only have the opportunity to visit virtually click here.

When ever I get a chance to visit this wonderful building and find it empty I love to sit and reflect back of the history it holds. This building held our forefathers, it was just another building to them. Today we hold on to the history of this area and building with pride.

Thesa - nothing like a building with History - I will definitely have to go see for myself.  I do know that with this type of building, it does make a difference to see it in person.  Do you have a picture of the outside?  Is it a typical log structure?

I was looking for one - and tried to shoot one today - but it started freaking snowing.... uggg - isn't it spring yet.

This is a beautiful building with a lot of the integrity of the original Camp Abbot there - I ran out of time so my article is pretty sucky - but it is truly worth seeing.

I will post photos as the weather clears

Valerie; bring your camera to GRI and I will take you on a sight seeing tour - living here since 1969 - I know so pretty special places - with the low snow amounts we should be able to see some great stuff :o)

Thesa - I love they retained the history and the building for the resort. Too often, older buildings are destroyed for new and modern.
