Caption: "Sentinel Hotel," c. 1917. The Sentinel Hotel at Yosemite Village. Construction of this hotel began in 1876, and at the turn of the century it was the only hotel operating in the valley.

The Sentinel and the complex of buildings that had grown up around it were torn down in the late 1930s.
