The Lewiston Lodge was built in the mid 1920’s. Originally a private resort with six rooms in the main restaurant building it was then called the Gassell Lodge. In the early 1930’s small cabins were built on premise around the main building. When Prohibition was lifted in the 1930’s the restaurant and rooms were opened. Weekly/nightly rentals were provided along with cooking and room services.

In the early 1940’s it was about $25.00 per guest for a weekly rate. Food and lodging was included in that price.In the mid 50’s a fire burned most of the inside of the main restaurant. After that, the outside cabins were joined to give it four motel rooms.
