YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Old Faithful Inn (1903)

The etchings on the beams and columns are original to this 1927 dining room. The glass etchings depicting bears tending bar and playing the piano were mounted between the columns in the background in 1962 when the space was converted into "The Bear Pit" (Old Side Dining Room).
