This large corner support with its two bracing limbs are some of interior lodgepole pine construction details in this series.  Old Faithful Inn is a spectacular log (lodgepole pine) hotel that was initially built in the wunter of 1903-1904. It is the largest log hotel in the world and possibly even the largest log building in the world.

It remains a prime example of the "Golden Age" of rustic resort architecture (Robert Reamer was the architect).
