Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood was constructed between 1936 and 1938 as a Works Progress Administration project during the Great Depression. Talented workers used huge timbers and local stone, and placed intricately carved decorative elements throughout the building. Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Lodge on September 28, 1937.

The 1980 movie The Shining, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, used aerial film of the Timberline Lodge as part of its opening scene. Film of the exterior of the Timberline Lodge is also used for some "establishing shots" of the fictional Overlook hotel throughout the movie.
