Leek's Lodge, Structure No. 627, is located on the east shore of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park, 10 miles NNW of Moran, Wyoming, off of U.S. Highway 89-287. Construction of the log structure, approximately 36' by 65', including porches, was begun in 1927 by Stephen Nelson Leek (1858-1943) and his sons. The lodge was the focus of dining and social activity in the complex of guest cabins established as Leek's Camp for fishermen and sportsmen. The building is significant as one of the earliest resort structures in the Jackson Hole locality and for its association with Leek himself, an important wilderness guide and wildlife conservationist in the early 20th century. Leek's Lodge will be stabilized so that the exterior retains its historic appearance. The interior will be renovated for adaptive use as a seasonal dormitory for Park personnel. It will house six to eight single employees who will share a kitchen and a bathroom. The character of the double-height lounge and dining areas will be retained to the extent that installation of modern fixtures will be confined to the northern end of the building. Structural reinforcement of the roof members, however, will be necessary throughout the building.
