Bryce Canyon General Store (National Park Service informational sign)
“Notice the wavy pattern in the roof? This optical illusion is created by cutting each shingle uniquely. This was part of Gilbert Stanley Underwood’s plan to help the buildings blend in with the forest of wavy pines.”
This unique shingling pattern is on the original cabins as well as the main lodge buildings, and has been replicated with each re-roofing of the complex, using the original pattern, as a way to keep the craftsman’s trademarks of the original builders and Underwood’s design. (Wikipedia)
