Its yellow walls, white columns, and deep front portico set this view apart from the log and stone lodges that dominate Yellowstone's image. The building is best known as the Lake Hotel on the northwest shore of Yellowstone Lake, which opened in 1891 as one of the park's earliest large hotels. Its Colonial Revival style, with a broad two-story porch, reflects the late-nineteenth-century taste for grand resort architecture in remote scenic places. Carol Highsmith's documentation of American landmarks captures how the hotel still stands against the open sky.
