    OVERCOMING OBSCURITY The Yellowstone Architecture of Robert C. Reamer Ruth Quinn MONTANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY, F.J.

They do not always know what to call it; they say “Old Faithful Lodge” more often than not. Yet it is the lodging facility in Yellowstone that everyone seems to know. It may well be the second most famous feature in Yellowstone, after Old Faithful Geyser itself. By contrast, last summer a woman came into the inn looking for the plaque bearing the architect’s name—and, rare among visitors, she already knew it. She was visiting from name a handful.

Ms. Gates will present an overview of park rustic architecture including early hospitality structures and architect Robert Reamer’s structures, such as the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone. The landscapes of our national parks contain iconic natural features that are indelibly imprinted in our minds: Old Faithful at Yellowstone; El Capitan and Half Dome at Yosemite; the General Sherman Tree at Sequoia National Park. These natural features frame our perception of the west and our treasured national parks. Synonymous with those iconic landscapes are the masterful buildings that grew out of those special places. Developed by the railroads, concessionaires, private interests, and the National Park Service, a type of architecture evolved during the late 19th and early 20th centuries that possessed strong harmony with the surrounding landscape and connections to cultural traditions. This architecture, most often categorized as “Rustic” served to enhance the visitor experience in these wild places. The architecture, too, frequently became as significant a part of the visitor experience as the national park itself.
