  • Historic Facts: Built during the winter of 1903-04, the Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park, was designed by Robert C. Reamer, who wanted the asymmetry of the building to reflect the chaos of nature. The Inn was built using materials from within the park and cost an initial sum of $165k to construct. Three building phases in 1903, 1913, and 1927, have led to its grandeur today. The Old Faithful Inn is a National Historic Landmark and is one of the few remaining log hotels in the United States.
