History and architectural features.
This complex encompassed sixteen contributing buildings and one contributing structure (a stone wall). The buildings were the lodge, cabins, bath house, and a fruit stand. Built in 1939, they were made from chestnut logs with concrete chinking, and were designed in a "log cabin" style. The lodge and cabins closed circa 1965.
Until 1962, Red Run Lodge had a policy of refusing accommodations to Black people. The owners and operators of the lodge were charged with racial discrimination in 1961. A public hearing was avoided when the owners agreed to a consent order that established that the lodge would accommodate Black customers without discrimination.
