Today, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis announced the designation of Lake Hotel in Yellowstone National Park and four other resources as National Historic Landmarks. Director Jarvis noted “National historic landmarks preserve some of our nation’s most remarkable places and demonstrate the power of partnerships between the National Park Service and historic property owners. These new landmarks offer opportunities for more Americans to make personal connections with our nation’s cultural and historical heritage and have the potential to drive tourism and boost local economies.” National Historic Landmarks recognize places that possess exceptional value and quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States.

Lake Hotel, Yellowstone National Park, Teton County, Wyoming. Initially constructed in 1891, the Lake Hotel was entirely reconceived in the first decades of the 20th century as a grand resort hotel displaying the Colonial Revival style as adapted to the context of a national park in the western United States. Located on the north shore of Yellowstone Lake, the hotel expansion and redesign was spearheaded by noted architect Robert C. Reamer.
