The Parsons Memorial Lodge is a small building built by the Sierra Club at the northern end of Tuolumne Meadows of Yosemite National Park.cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/harrison/harrison10.htm |title="Architecture in the Parks: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study: Parsons Memorial Lodge", by Laura Soullière Harrison |accessdate=2007-10-23|work=National Historic Landmark Them Study|publisher=National Park Service] It was one of the earliest structures built of stone in a National Park. [http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/79000283.nl.pdf NHL Writeup] ] . It has been modified slightly and is still in use today, though it is now managed by the National Park Service. It is representative of the Bay Area architectural influences, adapted for the extreme weather variations on the high valley.
