Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming: Historical Data Section

摘要

Old Faithful Inn stands as a distinctive structure marked by the imagination of its architect Robert C. Reamer who created a rustic building to blend with the area mountains and forest. It represents one of the few remaining log hotels in the United States. Its unique rustic design has made it almost as famous as its geyser namesake. This Historic Structure Report is concerned with the structural history of the Old Faithful Inn from the early discussions of a hotel on its present site in the 1890's to the actual construction of the hotel in 1903 - 1904. The later additions and modifications are discussed as well as the materials used and the unusual features of the Inn such as the massive stone fireplace and large iron clock.
