LeConter Memorial Lodge

What is this castle looking like building doing under the shadow of Glacier Point? First, Professor LeConte, whose memorial this is, was a major force in the early Sierra Club. The Sierra Club built this building as a place to store its books and historical documents. During the summer times, the ledge is open to the public-a friend of ours served as a docent there this summer.
