Caption: "Sentinel Hotel," c. 1917. The Sentinel Hotel at Yosemite Village, with a granite cliff in the background and the Merced River in the foreground. Construction of the hotel began in 1876, and at the turn of the century it was the only hotel operating in the valley. Increased attendance as the twentieth century progressed resulted in the construction of other tourist areas such as Curry Village, and the Sentinel gradually became obsolete. The Sentinel and the complex of buildings that had grown up around it were torn down in the late 1930s.
