In 1921 it was moved to its current location at sugar pine point.

Beautiful photo!! I lived in Lake Tahoe many years and it always presented great photo ops. Unfortunately, that period of time was pre-digital. Did you know that the water is 99.994% pure, making it one of the purest large lakes in the world? The water is so clear that a 10 inch white dinner plate would be visible at 75 feet below the surface. Great facts at: http://www.virtualtahoe.com/Community/TahoeFAQs.ht ml
