Description
The lodge and its matching outbuildings are examples of rustic architecture, also known as Western Craftsman style. The lodge's furnishings were mostly built on site in the same style as the house. The house's interior is dominated by a living room in the main block, with four small sleeping rooms directly off the main room. A hall leads to a kitchen in the main unit, then to a dining room located in the rear wing. The living room features exposed log trusses supporting the roof and a two-sided rubblestone fireplace designed by Omaha architect George. B. Prinze. The overscale fireplace faces into the living room and onto the porch just outside the living room.
The site includes a number of outbuildings, including a machine shop-storage shed, pumphouse, root cellar, three guest cabins, a barn and two privies. All are built of materials built on site. As of its nomination, the lodge did not have electricity, but did have hot and cold running water, and was essentially unchanged since the 1920s.
The Redick Lodge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
