Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a couple posing for a photograph in front of the House of Antlers in the Mammoth Hot Springs Area of Yellowstone National Park. A road stretches across the foreground on an upward angle from the lower left corner towards the right. Right-of-center, a man stands at the curb with his back to the camera and appears to take a photograph. The front end of a car enters the frame next to him at right. Ahead of him, a couple stands in the near distance at center, posing in front of a hut constructed of horns and antlers. The hut stands in a clearing. It was built in 1928 by Chief Ranger Sam T. Woodring. Beyond it, hotels stand in the distance. A porte-cochere peeks out from behind the left side of the antler house. Lettering on it reads, "HOTEL AND COTTAGES." Mountains rise in the far distance. Text from negative sleeve: 1591. Yellowstone trip 1942. Yellowstone Wednesday June 24, 1942. 1. A view thru a lane in the trees of the Daisy geyser.
