Lodge in Norris Park. This is one of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) outdoor recreational resorts developed by the TVA in cooperation with the National Park Service and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) of Norris Lake. The lodge contains facilities for dining and dancing and has a beautiful view of the lake from dining terrace.

This structure is fairly typical of the kind of accomodations provided for the recreation of unmarried TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) construction employees of both sexes.
