Glacier Park Hotel lobby, c. 1910-20. The 200-foot-long room originally included an open fire pit, which brought the natural experience of Glacier National Park to an indoor environment. The iconic log posts in the background added to this natural theme. While architect Samuel Bartlett utilized red cedar logs used for the hotel’s exterior, Douglas fir trees provided the lobby supports. | Source:
