The Red Run Lodge was a historic American hotel complex that was located in Washington Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, USA.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996,[1] but was torn down in December 2017.
History and architectural features
[edit]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.[2]
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.[3]
This complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996,[1] but was torn down in December 2017.
