History on the property to go along with the historical photos here..... The photographic record of building Tahoe's iconic and historic pine log, lodge style restaurant known as the Forest Inn. The Faust Family owned a restaurant in PalmSprings and built a summer cabin on Ward Creek on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. It is said that during the second summer the patriarch decided to begin serving meals to the summer vacationers around Lake Tahoe's West shore. The land was first cleared by horse drawn plow. The construction of the cabin started in 1932. By 1935 the restaurant was under construction and completed by 1936. The restaurant began service in 1937 and was the toast of summer residents during the days of theKaiser estate, and others. The snow fall of 1938 looks quite similar to some of our recent years of snow accumulation.Buyer to Investigate Permitting Process for Intended use. Permitted as Restaurant in Past.
