  • SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA's SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT
    SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA’S SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT An examination of the unique case for the historic preservation of the ski lodges of North America. A brief history and evolution of ski resorts addresses the historic significance of ski lodges as a cultural resource. Case studies of five ski lodges provide a representative look at this unique resource. An analysis of the ski lodge as a cultural resource, its place as a twentieth century building type, and the ramifications in a preservation context concludes the argument. INDEX WORDS: Historic preservation, Ski lodges, Twentieth century building types, Sun Valley Lodge, Sun Valley Inn, Challenger Inn, Timberline Lodge, Chalet des Voyageurs, Mont Tremblant Inn, Berthoud Pass Lodge, Mount Ashland Lodge SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA’S SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL BA, History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1996 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION ATHENS, GEORGIA 2005 © 2005 William Chad Blackwell All Rights Reserved SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA’S SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL Major Professor: Wayde Brown Committee: Pratt Cassity John Kissane Michael Tarrant Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2005 DEDICATION Dedicated to my mother and father who, on many summer vacations to historic sites, fanned my interest in historic places. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was made more difficult by the geographic distance between the author and the subject matter.

Fisher, Ph.D. __________________________ Date Department of Anthropology iv Abstract of THE SOCIAL PATINA OF THE BEARDSLEY COLLECTION: A MUSEUM ETHNOGRAPHY In 1956 an assortment of approximately 232 objects, photo albums, books, and personal papers were donated to the Sacramento State College Department of Anthropology. The Beardsley Collection, as it is now known, was amassed around the turn of the 20th century by George F. and Alice W. Beardsley of San Francisco and Carmel, California, and comprises ethnographic, natural history and decorative art objects from Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and North America. My research traces and analyzes the shifting sociohistorical significance and value of the Collection through three phases of its commodified career: first as a privately developed collection that reflects the lives and subjectivities of the Beardsleys, second as a museum acquisition and embodiment of mid-twentieth century disciplinary concerns, and lastly as, itself, a museum “artifact” worthy of ethnographic inquiry.

ADAMS AND ALICE BEE KASAKOFF We use a genealogical data base to question the idea that the frontier was a "safety valve" for Americans in the years of the foundingof the republic. Our findings about the relative wealth of members of nine families show how the frontieraffected their migrationpatterns. We findthat it was the middleclass, not the poor, who seemed to make best use of the opportunityof the frontier. THE idea that the American frontierprovided an opportunityfor the poor in America to better themselves is so persuasive that attempts to disprove it have had little effect, even though, by generalconsent, the United States was socially and economically stratified when it is thoughtthe frontierclosed in the 1890s. As data have become available, earlierperiods have also been found less egalitarianthan presumed. Yet recently Douglas Jones, writing of New England villages in the 1780s and 1790s, has again postulated the safety-valve theory.' For the past few years, we have been following the migrationsof nine New England families whose ancestors first came to Massachusetts before 1650.

Financing Invention During the Second Industrial Revolution: Cleveland, Ohio, 1870-1920 Naomi R. Lamoreaux, Margaret Levenstein, and Kenneth L. Sokoloff NBER Working Paper No. 10923 November 2004 JEL No. N2, N6, O3 ABSTRACT For those who think of Cleveland as a decaying rustbelt city, it may seem difficult to believe that this northern Ohio port was once a hotbed of high-tech startups, much like Silicon Valley today. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cleveland played a leading role in the development of a number of second-industrial-revolution industries, including electric light and power, steel, petroleum, chemicals, and automobiles. In an era when production and inventive activity were both increasingly capital-intensive, technologically creative individuals and firms required greater and greater amounts of funds to succeed. This paper explores how the city's leading inventors and technologically innovative firms obtained financing, and finds that formal institutions, such as banks and securities markets, played only a very limited role.
