Circa 1963
Designed by
Albert Frey, FAIA

This bridge-like structure straddles a gully, allowing water, and the occasional boulder, to pass underneath without damaging the building. The walls of glass offer a view of the mountain. The interior ceiling is of perforated and corrugated aluminum, a trademark of Frey's work.
