According to the flyer:
Fishing Bridge Trailside Museum - 1932
Located on the north shore of Yellowstone Lake, the Fishing Bridge Museum is an eight-room building with exhibits focused on the area's ecology. Wings to the northwest and southeast flank the central room,. The lower walls are made of massive boulders rising to the window sills. The upper walls are covered with shingles in a wave-like pattern. The gable roofs are also covered with similarly patterned shingles. A large, stone chimney protrudes from the northeast wing's roof. On the lake side of the museum, a flagstone terrace overlooks the water and gives way to steps leading to the shore of Yellowstone Lake. Inside the building the roof structure is exposed, with large log rafters and purlins. Log posts separate the central portion from the wings, and though the logs have been peeled, their knots and gnarls are merely sanded and stained.
