James R. McDonald Architects, Contractor and Historical Research Associates, Contractor. 1995. Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel: Historic Structure Report, Yellowstone National Park. Historic Structure Report. National Park Service. Yellowstone National Park
This report presents an analysis of the history, architecture, and physical condition of the hotel structures at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel. The architectural analysis identifies various elements of each building and describes typical conditions pertaining to those features in text, plans, and photographs. The report proposes preservation recommendations to restore and maintain the historical and architectural qualities of Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel. Mammoth Hot Springs, headquarters for Yellowstone National Park, is also the site of the first planned guest accommodations for the park. Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel is one structure in a complex of buildings designed to accommodate guests. The configuration of the structures represents the culmination of an evolution in park policy regarding tourist travel, financial considerations, and accessibility of location. The Fort Yellowstone Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1980. The hotel is described as an example of the "classical moderne" architectural style, defined as simplified linear forms with emphasis on the horizontal and using modified elements of classical ornamentation. Financial restrictions are evident in the interior of the hotel lobby, which was sparsely decorated at the time of construction. This Historic Structures Report references the Resource Management Plan for Yellowstone National Park. It is not included in this document but is intended to be used in conjunction with this report.
