Roosevelt, who visited the peninsula in the fall of 1937.

Following his tour of the Peninsula, the President signed authorization for the creation of Olympic National Park in 1938, which encompassed the Lake Crescent property.

A number of accessory buildings were removed, but the main lodge was spared, though motel-style units were constructed nearby.
