Description Amhitectural ciassificedon: Materials: Other: Rustic foundation:concrete,stone walls: log roof:metal other:n/a Narrative Description The Flaming Arrow Lodge is located on a west facing hillside, overlooking valley timber and mountain meadows along the Bridger Creek drainage in southwestern Montana; a drainage that is flanked by the crags of the majestic Bridger mountains that erupt upward from the timber across the creek to the west of the lodge to form the skyline of one of America's premier mountain views. The Iow profile one-story lodge is a large linear rectangular structure with the long axis of the structure oriented perpendicular to the rounded hillside that continues on down to an open meadow surrounding the twinkling headwaters of the stream, approximately 250 yards to the west. The visionary owner,supervisor/builder, and his log craftsmen limited their palette of exterior materials to log, subtly divided glass lights, and simply applied roofing materials with native stone appointments at selected locations. The east and west ends of the lodge roof are articulated with cross-gables that are infilled at each exterior re-entrant corner with lower sloped hipped corners to project over the lodge walls below, and continue the eave line of the central gable roof that shelters the lodge. The easternmost cross-gable features a reduced height gable that faces the east end of the lodge; and the west-facing dormer of the western cross-gable has been omitted so that a large stone chimney can be accommodated. The roofline at the west end of the lodge projects over a large open-sided veranda that wraps around the western end of the lodge to provide a place for viewing the mountains and stream below. Two small eave dormers articulate the roof line of the west elevation, and Iarger single wall dormers are centered on the north and south elevations of the lodge between the cross-gable ends to visually emphasize the central kitchen and dining functions of the floor plan and to provide separate entries into those spaces.

The original roof surfacing was roil roofing; current roofing is of forest green standing seam metal. The plan is arranged into three basic areas as described 9n 1934 by the words of Arthur L McKinney, creator of the lodge: The main lodge 65 by 110 feet in size will be ultra modern in every detail. It will consist of two large screened "front view" porches, extending around both sides and in front of the main lodge with doors leading out onto a spacious flag-stone terrace 35 feet wide and with 120 feet frontage. From these porches you enter the main lodge room, reading rooms,library, and visiting room (west end of the lodge). The next adjoining room is a spacious dining room with a seating capacity of 200 boys. out from each side of this dining room to the south and to the north are two special dining rooms under french glass,with seating capacity of 50 persons each. These special dining rooms are used exclusively for visiting parents to the boy troopers, for special guests, and for instructors and head troopers in charge of instruction and sports (central area). The next room adjoining is the main kitchen and chefs quarters, modem pantries. The latest cooking and kitchen equipment of every kind and description is to be used in the preparing of foods for any large number of troopers and guests (east end of the lodge). The basement of the main lodge houses the meat cooler room,vegetable rooms, grocery and supply rooms,boiler and fuel rooms. Another room, 50 by 60 feet, in the basement is to be the game room for the troopers for evenings and rainy days. The room will contain practically every small game imaginable, from table tennis and shuffle board to checkers and chess. Two other large ell-shaped rooms in the semi-basement front--one on the north side of the building and one on the south will provide the housing and sleeping quartets for the help in connection with the main lodge. The first.floor plan and use of the lodge remain essentially the same as conceived in 1934 - the west end is used for socialization, relaxation, and group activities; the center continues to accommodate the functions of dining and food preparation; the service and chefs quarters at the eastern end of the lodge have been minimally altered to provide space for the similar functions of three guest rooms for visitors.The plan use is expressed to the exterior of the building by the placement and size of windows and entrances within the residential-story-height log walls. All walls, gable ends, and exposed beams, rafters, and columns of the exterior fenestration are of naturally rounded log. The corners of the log construction are deeply saddle notched with the cope always in the lower half of the log to shed water. The logs at the primary corners of the lodge, at the veranda to the west, and at intersections of primary interior cross-walls (reflecting the three functional areas described above) originally projected beyond the building line with substantial "wings;" corner crossing of the logs at other locations is simple and modest.The Iarge "wings'were v-wings - with the top and bottom logs projecting the width of the roof overhang and intermediate logs cut progressively shorter as they approached the mid-height of the wall. End cuts of the v-v;ings were all sloped cuts along the line of the"v" making water entrance into the end grain of the lower logs particularly easy; as a result the lower half of some of the wing walls were not salvageable during the initial phase of preservation of the lodge. The logs have been recently resurfaced and the cementitious chinking has been replaced with contemporary resilient chinking that matches the appearance of the historic treatment. Jambs,heads, and sills of window and door frames in the log walls were all hand hewn from log and remain in their original condition. oA�w OMB Approvd No.ioz+-Cote tics Form Iwsoa (g M United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Flaming Arrow Lodge Page 2 The windows, framed by the hand-hewn Iogs, are q pically very large hinged units with numerous divided Iights. Four-pane x three-pane units (deployed horizontally) are the most common size and are often ranked in pairs; the central dining area includes some 8-pane x 3-pane units--all set into the wall to engage the natural views as well as to reflect the public functions contained within. Smaller 3 light x 2 light windows serve the lower basement level on the west end of the lodge; and 2 x 3 casement windows are selectively placed on the east end of the lodge that was designed for residential purposes. All original doors are of wooden bead-pattern board assembled vertically and feature decorative hammered steel hardware. Selected doors are stiffened with a single diagonal cross brace on the exterior. The log walls are supported by a concrete foundation; the foundation is faced with random lay native stone around the west end of the structure where the natural contour exposes a visible amount of lower wail. A large stone chimney of the same material penetrates the roof above the center of the west wall and a smaller stone chimney extends above the east end of the building near the south wail (this chimney has been altered with brick adjacent to the cap). The form and materials expressed on the exterior of the structure continue into the interior of the lodge. Knotty pine ceilings are vaulted to follow the slope of the roof and are articulated by log king- post trusses and log collar ties across the large clear-span spaces; interior bearing walls between the three main divisions of the plan are of log and are a continuation of the architectural roof and wall treatments expressed on the exterior. Interior walls of the living quarters at the east end that are visible from the open living/dining spaces are surfaced with finished wood boards that match the color and finish on the log work; partitions within the living quarters have been resurfaced with gypsum wallboard. Interior appointments utilize the same natural materials established by the construction of the lodge - here are log furnishings, log chandeliers, hammered steel chandeliers and hardware, and rustic stone fireplaces - all expressing the hand craftsmanship of the artisans that executed the dreams of Arthur McKinney as directed by the sensitive eye of Wally Diteman. Floors are of light colored tongue and groove hardwood; accented with regional western area rugs.The interior of the windows are not concealed or draped and the delicate muntin/mullion pattern serves as contrapuncture to the massiveness of the logs. Interior casework and millwork are of flat pine; finished naturally and mellowed by time. The overall effect of this structure as a representative of stylistic rustic log architecture applied to public recreational use is memorable--its low profile and large roof overhang impart a sense of shelter and the large carefully placed openings are inviting. The structure respectfully grows out of the hillside with grace,and the use of wood and stone of the forest and peaks nearby naturally integrates the lodge with its surroundings. A gentle balance has been established between the formality of symmetry of form and the informality of setting and material. Integrity Statement The Flaming Arrow Lodge continues to maintain a high level of architectural integrity when compared to the original design and construction that was executed bQ years ago. The basic form and massing of the lodge is unaltered, it exhibits the original rustic style of decorative logwork, and it conveys the associations of feeling,site, and setting that characterized its initial conception. With the exception of the roof covering, exterior materials are essentially original and changes to them have been minimal. The green mineral surfaced rolled roofing has been replaced with a standing seam forest green metal roof(reversible); the original cementitious log chinking has been supplemented with contemporary resilient chinking that is compatible in terms of color, texture and scale with the historic material; and windows replacements (where required) have been executed to reflect the same divided-lightpattern as the original design.

(builder) McKinney, Arthur L. (architect) Narrative Statement of Significance The Flaming Arrow Lodge is significant under Criterion C because of its stylistic design features, method of construction, and association with a distinct and specific architectural expression as it evolved in the West during the period of 1910- 1940. It is an excellent example of the Western Rustic style, a romanticized and embellished, later version of the building technology used by the pioneering forefathers as they settled in the West. During the opening years of the twentieth century, Iog construction was refined and exaggerated as it was applied to dude ranches, summer camps and recreational facilities, designed to lure tourists to the state.The Lodge,once centerpiece of the Flaming Arrow Ranch, serves as a visual reminder of the dream of the Arthur L. McKinney family to create a boys' "vocational/educational" camp, a summer theatre, and schools of art and drama in the inspirational Bridger Mountains. Though the dream was not to become a reality, the Flaming Arrow Ranch ultimately established Bridger Canyon as a major outdoor recreation area (Criterion A) and introduced recreationists, "dudes," and Boy Scouts to rustic camp living for many years. The Flaming Arrow Lodge and the McKinneys residence'(now under separate ownership) are all that remain of the ranch. History of the Flaming Arrow Ranch The year 1934 was a time of expansion and expression in America; citizens had more time for recreation, they bad the increasing freedom of the automobile, the country worked toward economic recovery, and rugged sites in the West became more enticing to both visitors and developers.The Arthur McKinney family chose to respond to the opportunities by setting the wheels in motion to create a recreational camp in the remote, but increasingly accessible mountains of Montana. Arthur L. McKinney came from a family with a multi-generation history in the mercantile business in Indiana. In addition to his own mercantile interests, McKinney devoted as much leisure as possible to the study of music. While he specialized in playing both piano and trombone, he also "found an outlet" in writing music,which was "well received in musical circles," particularly his "When The Wheat to Gold" and "I Told Her So Long Years Ago." His wife (Lena) was a former teacher who shared her husband's interests in education, entertainment, the arts and music. The couple's son, Duane, "active on the legitimate stage since the age of ten,"sampled the educational offerings of numerous schools, including Shortridge, the Culver Military Academy,Harrisburg Academy, the John Heron Art Institute of Indiana, Art Institute of Chicago and the Goodman Memorial School of the Spoken Drama,where in 1934 (at age 20), he was a member of the faculty.The young McKinney was also a stage and scenic designer for the Drama department of DePaul University in Chicago. It is conceivable, given the time period and his association with the Culver Military Academy, that Duane McKinney may have attended (or at least had knowledge of) the SkyIand Camp on Bowman Lake in GIacier National Park,which functioned as an extension of the Culver Military Academy in Indiana. The Rainbow Lodge,which is all that remains today of the Skyland camp, is built of tamarack logs with a native stone fireplace. It parallels the Flaming Arrow Lodge in many ways, including use of native building materials, construction and historical function. The desire for a "family" summer business and residence in beautiful Montana, utilizing their collective vocations and avocations, culminated in the McKinneys initial purchase of one-half section of land in Bridger Canyon. The land, located OM9 Approval No.1024-0019 NPS Form 10.600•a (B• M United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Flaming Arrow Lodge Page 1 on "old Arrows Point," was said to be the sight of a great Sioux-Nez Perce battle which, according to legend, ended in a truce symbolized by a flaming arrow ceremony. Inspired by the legend and their own varied interests, the McKinneys designed a "vocational-educational Ranch for Fine Boys,"joining the growing "dude ranch" business in Montana, but with notable planned additions. The Flaming Arrow Ranch was also to include the Silver Forest Playhouse,a summer theatre (designed to seat 1000), schools of art and drama, and a summer artists colony. Some of the inspiration for the Flaming Arrow Ranch likely came from the McKinney's visits to the 7-Up Guest Ranch near Lincoln, Montana and it was there that they met Wallace R. Diteman. "Wally" Diteman arrived in Montana from Washington State in 1929. Late in the same year he went to work at the Bowers 7-Up Ranch, first doing farm work and later building the log cabins and lodge for the facility's evolution to "guest" ranch. He was 'wrangling dudes"when the McKinneys stayed at the 7-Up in 1933, and in the spring of 1934, he moved to Bozeman to supervise the construction of the Flaming Arrow Ranch. J.A.,S tafford,of Bozeman, handled many of the local-business matters for the McKinney family and Arthur McKinney directed the building project from his Indianapolis home. Stafford advertised widely in the state for "expert log construction men" and when respondents "proved their ability," they were sent to the camp,where construction started in September of 1934. The professional services of an architect were not retained for the design of the Flaming Arrow. The ideas and sketches of the McKinney family were communicated by mail to construction supervisor and builder, Wally Diteman,who translated, enhanced and executed those ideas. The capabilities of Diteman and the high level of skill of the log craftsmen employed on the work were significant factors in the success of the project. Through the winter of 1934,with the Depression still a major factor, the work force of up to 75 men creating a complex of thirteen major buildings drew considerable attention. The McKinneys were secretive regarding the planned use of the complex (even the workers were not told) and rumors were rampant in Bozeman about the"mystery of Bridger Canyon," which the Chronicle called "the scene of the most elaborate, costly and artistic recreation plant ever constructed in this part of the country." Speculation about a potential nudist colony,school with anti-Hitler teachings for Jewish youth, moving picture camp, playground for the idle rich, military academy,among others,was laid to rest in December of 1934 when the McKinneys visited Bozeman and unveiled their plans for the Flaming Arrow Ranch. Arthur McKinney expected daily progress reports and photos from the Flaming Arrow project From his Indianapolis headquarters he shipped materials, supplies and equipment. He launched a national and international p otional cam ai n for the ranch and created liaisons with both the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee railroads. He bole or a state P g Gallatin County Commissioners to gravel the Bridger Canyon road,and later the Montana Highway Commission highway to service the area. Through the winter of 1934,workers and men transporting materials fought the primitive road to the building site. Methods of construction were limited to what could be done by hand,with minimal assistance from teams of horses to move the materials and to provide the power for a "gin-pole" hoist, since mechanization had not yet reached the Bridger Canyon. By spring, 0340,000 board feet of Bridger lumber" had been put into ten double cabins, the large recreationldining lodge,a theatre and an "elaborate" home for the McKinney family. OM8 Appmvaf No,1024-0018 NPS Form 10.900-a United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number S Flaming Arrow Lodge Page 2 With advance reservations pouring in for the 1935 (July and August) season for both the camp and theatre, and a special Northern Pacific"Flaming Arrow" pullman car ready to transport New York and Chicago boys to the camp, Arthur McKinney died in Indiana, in May, at the age of 49. Construction was halted on the camp and the workers were released. The planned 1935 season was cancelled and reservations returned. Although announcing plans to open for the 1936 season, the remaining McKinneys decided instead to sell the Flaming Arrow Ranch. Wally Diteman remained as foreman/caretaker of the facility for the McKinneys and in 1935 opened the facility for winter sports. The Lodge provided (and continues to provide) a comfortable gathering place for recreational participants and observers.The Ditemans supplied a team and sled to transport groups of skiers to the Ranch,which was not easily accessible during the winter. The Flaming Arrow Lodge additionally offered indoor sports, games, and dancing f& the less adventurous. On Thanksgiving day 1935, the Iarge Silver Forest Theatre was "opened up" to provide spectators an indoor ski jumping exhibition, where special participants skied to, through,and out the other side of the unfinished building. The required. -modifications to the building for this event could explain the theaters deteriorated condition, when Eva and Erwin. Lachenmaier purchased the Flaming Arrow Ranch in 1946. The theatre was later dismantled for lumber. The Lachenmaiers adapted the interior of-the eastern end of the Flaming Arrow Lodge for family Iiving quarters and readied the cabins for guests. Among their earliest customers were state highway workers,building the road promised to Arthur McKinney over twelve years earlier. Linemen bringing the Canyon's first electricity were also guests, along with a growing number of summer "dudes" and winter recreationists. In 1956, the Lachenmaiers sold the ranch to the Yellowstone Valley Council,Boy Scouts of America and for about twenty summers,Arthur McKinney's dream of a"vocational/educational camp for fine boys," though modified,became something of a reality. When the Boy Scouts sold the ranch in the mid 1970s the cabins were either razed or moved off the property and the Iand sub-divided. Only the Flaming Arrow Lodge and the residence intended for the McKinneys (now the Silver Forest Inn and under separate ownership) remain. Patrick J. Stranahan,the current owner, is in the process of restoring the Flaming Arrow Lodge with the guidance of the Montana State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service, as a Tax Act project. Architectural Significance The Flaming Arrow Lodge exhibits and emphasizes the characteristics of the Rustic architectural style in many ways, including the romantic, natural setting with dramatic views to and from the lodge, the use of a limited palette of natural materials which integrate the building with the site,and the refined and exaggerated use of log in the construction. The public perception of log construction of the era was summed up by the editors of the "Sunset Cabin Plan Book" published in 1938: Mention of a"cabin in the woods" brings a vision to the average man of one thing--a LOG cabin. And although few people will ever build a real log cabin, most of us have inherited from our pioneer ancestors a romantic attachment to the sturdily constructed homes of our early settlers.
