Discovery Waypoint | N 44º 24′ 56.1″ W 110º 34′ 43.1″ Old Faithful Writing Desk—1911 oak-partner writing desk and lamp on 2nd floor balcony of the Old Faithful Inn. A 1929 furniture inventory listed some of the attractive oak-partner writing desks that are still in service today. Each desk has a green stained glass lampshade with copper overlay in the shape of pine trees and an owl with a privacy screen above. The Old Faithful Inn is a hotel located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, with a view of the Old Faithful Geyser. The Inn has a multi-story log lobby, flanked by long frame wings containing guest rooms. With its log and limb lobby and massive (500-ton, 85-foot) stone fireplace, the inn is an example of the "Golden Age" of rustic resort architecture, a style which is also known as National Park Service Rustic. It is rare in that it is one of the few log hotels still standing in the United States, and was the first of the great park lodges of the American west. Initial construction was carried out over the winter of 1903-1904, largely using locally obtained materials including lodgepole pine and rhyolite stone. When the Old Faithful Inn first opened in the spring of 1904, it boasted electric lights and steam heat. The structure is the largest log hotel in the world; possibly even the largest log building in the world. The Inn, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Old Faithful Inn is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. . . https://www.fmgphoto.com/Feature-Special-Galleries/n-W7xDfN/Yellowstone/i-WzPbJSB/A https://followingmygps.com/yellowstone-national-park/ . . . #rusticfurniture #OldFaithfulInn #YellowstoneNationalPark #Yellowstone #NationalPark #Parkitecture #writingdesk #findyourpark #goparks #YNP #yellowstoneforever #nationalparkservicerustic #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #travelmagazine #roadtripping #exploring #roadtrip (at Old Faithful Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHnlVAnMb6_/?igshid=c3e0m3u9ocmf
