Mt. Rainier Visitors Center
Mt. Rainier, WA
The Visitor Center at Paradise on Mount Rainier, through its use of simple, historic forms and natural materials, is a contemporary Northwest rustic architectural expression and is compatible with the other buildings within the National Historic Landmark District. Granite was chosen from a nearby quarry for its compatibility with the existing stone masonry and for its strength and durability where the exterior is subject to snow and ice avalanching off the roof and impacting the building.
