Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 22 (Stone Structure)

NOTE – Hello Readers of JBRish! Those who are following my Year of Yosemite posts might recall that on July 7th I posted a different view of the structure below. You can see it HERE.

At that time I asked readers to take a guess regarding the nature of this structure near the the Majestic Yosemite Hotel. Well…do you want to take a guess? If you do take a guess, you can find out if you are correct by highlighting the space between the two lines of asterisks that follow. The answer will be revealed once highlighted.

Another view of the stone structure referenced above

As I noted in the prior post, stone was plentiful in Yosemite and was used as a building material for buildings, bridges, curbs, etc. This stone structure that is situated in proximity to the the Majestic Yosemite Hotel (formerly the Ahwahnee) served as a carriage house or carriage stop years ago. In older pictures, a sign for the Ahwahnee Hotel can be seen hanging above it.

According to this story on the Internet, the sign was stolen just days before the Ahwahnee was to change its name.

Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 15

stone structure

Stone structures provide an “earthy” feel to Yosemite

Yosemite has many stone structures because stone was abundant at the time the park was being developed. The design of the stone structure above stood out as unique. Do you want to venture a guess regarding its purpose? I will give you a hint…it was near the Majestic Yosemite Hotel (formerly the Ahwahnee). [ The answer will be given in a later post ]
