Jan. 2006 - An Evening to Remember at Thunderbird Lodge,
Lake Tahoe - William Phillips

In the summer of 1941, the United States is still at peace although the winds of war
are blowing through Europe. On the warm evening depicted in William S. Phillips'
"An Evening to Remember," invited guests begin to arrive at the George Whittell
Mansion (the Thunderbird Lodge at Lake Tahoe) for a festive evening
of cards and conversation.

Born in 1881, George Whittell Jr. was fabulously wealthy and was one of the more
notorious playboys of his time. His life was fast paced and privileged and his
real ambition was to live life to its fullest, enjoying the fruits of his wealth
unencumbered by the worries of productivity or work. Determined to exploit
his position, he began building a retreat designed by Nevada Architect
Frederick De Longchamps. By 1936, Whittell controlled nearly one third
of the Tahoe Basin, including 27 miles of shoreline. Ironically, in doing
so, Whittell helped to preserve the national beauty of Lake Tahoe and build
what was to become one of the great historical landmarks on the lake
- The Thunderbird Lodge.
