Thick stone walls, a red tile roof, and deep arched porches give this lodge the look of a California mission building set down in the city. Designs like this drew on the Spanish missions of the state's past and grew popular in the early 1900s, when Mission Revival styles spread across California. Builders favored tile roofs and arcaded porches because they shed rain, shaded the walls, and suited the dry, sunny climate that promoters praised. The exact date and builder of this particular lodge are not known from its title alone, so local building permits and city directories are the best places to look for those details.
