This document is the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Lake Hotel in Yellowstone National Park, Teton County, Wyoming. The NHL nomination for the Lake Hotel documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 4 as the embodiment of an early twentieth-century grand resort hotel with a Colonial Revival style adapted to the context of a national park in the western United States. Initially completed in 1891, Lake Hotel is the oldest hotel built within a national park. After its historic redesign and expansion in 1903-04 by noted architect Robert C. Reamer, it became the only Colonial Revival grand resort hotel within a national park. The period of national significance is 1891-1940.
