Description |
Scope and content: This collection consists of approximately 300 architectural drawings. All of the drawings are of proposed and approved hotels and residences for Yellowstone National Park, ca 1890-1830. The majority of the drawings and blueprints are by architect, Robert C. Reamer. Drawings depict everything from building elevations to plans for windows and doors inside the buildings.; F. Jay Haynes (1853-1921) was the official photographer of the Northern Pacific Railroad and Yellowstone National Park. In May 1978, Isabel M. Haynes of Bozeman, Montana, donated a collection of photographs taken by F. Jay Haynes and his son Jack Ellis Haynes to the Montana Historical Society (MHS). Among the many sub-collections that came to the MHS from the Haynes family was a set of approximately 300 architectural drawings and renderings of buildings and sites in Yellowstone National Park, ca. 1890-1930. These drawings were collected by Jack Ellis Haynes, son and business partner of F.J. Haynes. None of the drawings in the collection are attributed to Haynes, and it is not clear how he came to have them. It might be assumed that since Haynes had a keen interest in the history of Yellowstone Park, he collected the drawings when no one else wanted them.; The Yellowstone Architectural Drawings Collection at the Montana Historical Society contains original materials related to the development of architecture in Yellowstone Park. These drawings document the development of the proposed and approved plans for many of the most significant properties built in Yellowstone National Park. These sites and properties include Old Faithful Inn, Canyon Lodge, the Lake Hotel, Gardiner Railway Depot, and several private residences. Work by architects Robert C. Reamer, A.W. Spalding, Fred L. Willson, Gilbert Stanley Underwood, and C.H. Kirk are represented in this collection. Most of the collection is made of up of original drawings and sketches by Robert C. Reamer. |
