J. Haynes Description: Relates to the Quinton Blair Residence (S.351). "...The two regiments of men who spent the winter of 1910-11 building this marvelous mountain hotel have been practically isolated from the world for months. They have worked always seven days of the week ; they had no saloon or club or theater to beguile their time or bemuse their faculties, and even for the younger, pleasure-loving workers there was no diversion, except the fierce thrill of gliding and coasting on skis over the glacier-like slopes of the desolate amphitheatre which surrounded them. There is probably no other like example of hotel-building in history, and the structure which is the result, the scene which it civilizes without desecrating, the strange region which it adorns without vulgarizing are all in keeping and in singular symmetry. ...Rustic it is not, in the sense that Old Faithful Inn is rustic. Architect Robert C. Reamer, who also contrived and constructed the historic Old Faithful Inn, smiled gravely when I commented upon this impressive feature of his latest and greatest work, saying: "I built it in keeping with the place where it stands. Nobody could improve upon that. To be at discord with the landscape, would be almost a crime. To try to improve upon it, would be an impertinence."

ST#: 2009.61.0809 (1-58)                   INTRODUCTION   Over the past year and a half I have had the opportunity to accompany my daughter on a number of her business related road trips. She has been very gracious to indulge me on these occasions, and we visited a number of Wright properties. I happened to mention how much fun it might be to take a road trip to Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore during the summer, and of course we could visit the Blair Residence on the way. Much to my surprise, she picked up on the idea and we made plans for August. With my wife, daughter and her two kids, along with two car top carriers we headed out. Our first evening camping in Yellowstone was freezing, and I do not exaggerate. It warmed up nicely during the day and was beautiful. On our second evening camping in Yellowstone, hail started about six pm. Large hail. In August. It covered the ground with about a half inch of hail. Then the monsoons started. Someone mentioned how nice a motel in Cody (our next stop) might be. It would only take two hours, and the kids would love to swim, and we would be warm. And they could swim the next morning while I visited the Blair residence. We were on the road in ten minutes at the most. The Blair's Holiday Inn was full, but we did find a very nice motel for the evening.       As I drove up the driveway to the home the next morning, two deer were grazing in the front yard. Quintin Blair, now in his late 90's was unable to come to the door, but his assistant was gracious enough to allow me to view the outside of the home. Designed in 1952, it was completed in 1954, and today is his only work in the state of Wyoming. Ruth Taggart was a student at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts during the 1930s. One of her professors, Bruce Goff, took the class to visit Taliesin at Spring Green, Wisconsin. In 1951 Ruth and Quintin Blair were visiting Arizona. She suggested that they visit Taliesin West in Arizona, where Wright now lived and worked. Wright met them in the driveway, lead them on a tour and invited them to stay for lunch. At the luncheon, Wright offered to design a home for them. In 1951 they purchased a 40 acre parcel of land in the Big Horn Basin (NRHP) a few miles east of Cody. Viewing the property today, with all its lush vegetation, it is hard to image how barren and desolate it looked at the time. Besides the wide open space, one of its redeeming features was a stream that meandered through their property which they dammed to create a pond. They began planting a wide variety of trees, and today the home is barely visible from the road.       The 1,500 square foot house is laid out on a four foot grid designed. W. Kelly Oliver, drew the original plans. He also was the original supervising apprentice for the Dallas Theater Center (S.395)and responsible for the completion after Wright past away. The house is dominated by a low flat roof that raises dramatically over the living room which reaches fifteen feet high on the on the   Northeast side, and then cantilevers out eight feet, much like the Alpaugh (S.293), Shavin (S.339) and Seth Peterson (S.430). Designed in a rectangular shape, the workspace forms the lower leg of a short "L". The Living Room, piano alcove and Workspace masonry is set at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the home. The Northeast corner that projects from the glass wall was designed as a piano niche. Wright specified warm Philippine mahogany and locally-quarried red and gold ashlar sandstone.       There are many classic Wright details in the two bedroom home. Three sides of the Living and Dining Room are walls of glass, one and a half of which are floor to ceiling. There are windows with mitered corners. The Living Room roof cantilevers out eight feet. The original carport had a roof that cantilevers out 12 feet. There are built in shelves, seating and lighting. The centrally located fireplace has a mantle that extends out at a 45 degree angle. There are horizontal rows of floor to ceiling vertical door and windows, double doors that open outward, clerestory windows, cut-wood light screens. And a hidden entrance.       The Blairs collected prairie styled art glass light fixtures and dining room chairs from the demolished Yellowstone Canyon Hotel. One of the double stained glass light fixtures is mounted on a stone pedestal in the front yard and the second is on a pedestal in the Garden Court. A smaller set of single stained glass wall mounted light fixtures are mounted on either side of the entrance to the Blair's Holiday Inn in Cody Wyoming. The Wright designed dining room chairs were replaced with prairie styled chairs they acquired from the Yellowstone Canyon Hotel.       Changes and additions have taken place over the years. They hired Bruce Goff, the architect that introduced Ruth to Wright, to enclose the terrace and create a dining room, enlarge the kitchen, and add a two car garage. According to Randolph C. Henning, the Blair residence (to the best of his recollection), is the only time the architectural genius of both Wright & Bruce Goff physically came together in an architectural work. He also mentioned that Michael Kreps was the Bruce Goff apprentice who was responsible for the drawings for the 1981 additions. After Bruce passed away, Charles Montooth was hired to design a master bedroom.       While Ruth was probably the impetus for selecting Wright, Quintin was just as involved in the process. Like many of Wright's clients, he supervised the construction himself. The Blair Residence was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. .        "Our living room is beautiful... you feel like a party in that big room... you always feel like you want to dress up. There's a magic about it." Ruth Blair. (Homearama)       Text by Douglas M.

According to the tale told by the front desk at the Holiday Inn, Cody Wyoming. Edward T. Grigware was a well-known artist, most notably in Cody, Wyoming for his historic Cody murals. An acquaintance of Quintin Blair commissioned Grigware to produce a painting of his mistress. All four women in the painting are the same woman. Upon his death, his wife wanted it out of her home. Immediately. Quintin found out, paid $1 for it and hung it in the Teepee Tap Room of the original Buffalo Bill Village resort. In 1972 with the opening of the Holiday Inn, the painting was moved to its present location "The Bottoms Up Lounge".

Steiner, copyright 2009.       Floor Plan After Bruce Goff Addition 1981   Changes and additions have been fluid over the years. In 1981 they hired Bruce Goff, the architect that introduced Ruth to Wright, to design a Master Bedroom, add a two car Garage, enlarge the kitchen, create a formal dining room, and create a Library in place of the old Workspace. According to Randolph C. Henning, the Blair residence (to the best of his recollection), is the only time the architectural genius of both Wright & Bruce Goff physically came together in an architectural work. He also mentioned that Grant Gustafson and Michael Kreps were the Bruce Goff apprentices who were responsible for the drawings for the 1981 additions.        Two sets of plans exist for the 1981 alterations. The first set, which includes ten pages and is undated, lists Bruce Goff as Architect and J. Palmer Boggs as Structural Engineer. This set indicates that the kitchen has been moved from the "Workspace" to the original "Workshop" area. Bruce designed a two story addition touching the Northern corner of the Living Room, and a Garage and Storage areas off the Southern end of the home. The plans also included a number of built-in planters to be added around the exterior of the home as well as a pool by the entry. The two story addition includes a Hobby Room, Plant Room and full Bath on the main floor. The second floor includes a Master Bedroom, full Bath and two Decks.  The addition on the Southern end of the home includes a two car Garage, and three Storage areas.        The second set of plans is dated Nov. 4, 1981 and includes 17 pages. It lists Bruce Goff as Architect, R. Michael Kreps Architect - Drawing, and J. Palmer Boggs as Structural Engineer. This set indicates that the kitchen has been moved from the "Workspace" to the original "Workshop" area.    Bruce designed a two story addition touching the Northern corner of the Living Room and a Garage and Storage areas off the Southern end of the home. The plans also included a number of built-in planters to be added around the exterior of the home, a pool by the entry and a second in the back yard attached to the terrace. Bruce also designed a pedestal for the Yellowstone Canyon Hotel light fixtures. The two story addition which is larger than the first design, includes a Living Room, Studio, Utility, Bath and Aqua/Arium on the main floor. The second floor includes a Master Bedroom, full Bath and two Decks. The addition on the Southern end of the home includes a two car Garage, and three Storage areas. Additional changes to the original structure include expanding the Eastern corner of the new Kitchen (Old Workshop) and adding windows and a planter. It also includes removing the original Workspace on the Southern end of the Living Room, opening up the area to create a Library. These plans also indicate that all the interior doors and window partitions between the Terrace and the Bedrooms have been removed except a panel on each end, and suggest removing these, completely opening up the area for formal Dining Room.        The additions which were completed from these two designs included the Garage and Storage areas on the Southern end, expanding the Eastern corner of the new Kitchen (Old Workshop), adding windows and a planter, removing the original Workspace on the Southern end of the Living Room, opening up the area to create a Library and completely opening up and creating a formal Dining Room.        After Bruce passed away, Charles Montooth was hired to design and complete a master bedroom.             Floor plan after the Bruce Goff Addition.

Page 26. (Note the original Wright designed furniture.)   6) "But you get the fish-bowl feeling, for the sandstone walls and massive fireplace give you a solid sense of shelter. Triangular stone hood on the fireplace echoes the design of the unusual piano niche on the opposite wall. The pattern of the boards adds interest to the ceiling, and extends through the walls to the wide overhang, stressing the indoor-outdoor unity of design that is basic in this house.

Steiner, August 2009     Quintin and Ruth Blair Residence, Cody, Wyoming (1952 - S.351). Set of 58 exterior photographs of the Blair Residence. There are many classic Wright details in the two bedroom home. Three sides of the Living and Dining Room are walls of glass, one and a half of which are floor to ceiling. There are windows with mitered corners. The Living Room roof cantilevers out eight feet. The original carport had a roof that cantilevers out 12 feet. There are built in shelves, seating and lighting. The centrally located fireplace has a mantle that extends out at a 45 degree angle. There are horizontal rows of floor to ceiling vertical door and windows, double doors that open outward, clerestory windows, cut-wood light screens. And a hidden entrance.          Changes and additions have taken place over the years. They hired Bruce Goff, the architect that introduced Ruth to Wright, to enclose the terrace and create a dining room, enlarge the kitchen, and add a two car garage. According to Randolph C. Henning, the Blair residence (to the best of his recollection), is the only time the architectural genius of both Wright & Bruce Goff physically came together in an architectural work. He also mentioned that Michael Kreps was the Bruce Goff apprentice who was responsible for the drawings for the 1981 additions. After Bruce passed away, Charles Montooth was hired to design a master bedroom. Set of 58 exterior color high res photographs. (ST#2009.61.0809 - 1-58)   1) The Blairs purchased a large tract of land a few miles east of Cody. They began planting a wide variety of trees, which today is barely visible from the road. View is looking South toward the residence. (ST#2009.61.0809-1)   2) Viewing the property today, with all its lush vegetation, it is hard to image how barren and desolate it look in 1952.

One of the double stained glass light fixtures is mounted on a stone pedestal in the front yard and the second is on a pedestal in the Garden Court. A smaller set of single stained glass wall mounted light fixtures are mounted on either side of the entrance to the Blair’s Holiday Inn in Cody Wyoming. The Wright designed dining room chairs were replaced with prairie styled chairs they acquired from the Yellowstone Canyon Hotel.       According to Tamsen Emerson Hert in "Luxury in the Wilderness, Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon   Hotel, 1911–1960", published in Yellowstone Science, Summer 2005, pages 21-35, "Quinn Blair and his wife Ruth, of Cody, Wyoming, have Canyon Hotel light fixtures adorning their Frank Lloyd Wright home (the only Wright building in Wyoming), as does the Holiday Inn in Cody. The Blairs also purchased a set of Limbert chairs from the president of the Yellowstone Park Company for $5 apiece at Mammoth Hot Springs."       The chairs in the Blair's dining room are pictured in a photograph by F.

(Jay) Haynes was born Oct. 28, 1853 in Saline Michigan and married Lily Verna Synder in 1878. He was known as the official photographer of the Northern Pacific Railroad and Yellowstone National Park. He was employed by the Northern Pacific RR in 1875 to take pictures along their route from Minnesota to the West Coast for advertising and promotional purposes. Haynes established a photo studio in Moorhead, Minnesota in 1876 and moved it to Fargo, North Dakota in 1879. Ten years later he moved the studio to St. Paul, Minnesota where it was maintained for many years. In 1884 he obtained leases at both Old Faithful and Mammoth, where he opened his first photo shop in 1884. The Haynes Guidebook was first published in 1890 and continued until 1966. In 1900 he produced his first set of ‘picture post cards’, and went on to produce thousands of post cards. In 1911-12 he photographed the Yellowstone Canyon Hotel, and his images where published in "A Miracle in Hotel Building, Being the Story of the Building of the New Canyon Hotel In Yellowstone Park". Many of these historic images were also published as postcards. He passed away on March 10, 1921 at age 68.     ROBERT REAMER Robert C. Reamer (1873-1938) was an American architect, most noted for the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. Reamer was born in and spent his early life in Oberlin, Ohio. He left home at the age of thirteen and went to work in an architect's office in Detroit as a draftsman. By the age of twenty-one, Reamer had moved to San Diego and had opened the architectural office of Zimmer & Reamer in partnership with Samuel B. Zimmer. The firm produced a wide variety of projects, but the only surviving example of Zimmer & Reamer's work is the George H. Hill Block in the Gaslamp District. The partnership dissolved in 1898, but Reamer continued to work on his own, including work at the Hotel del Coronado. During this period he became acquainted with the president of the Yellowstone Park Association, Harry W. Child.       In 1910 Reamer presented designs for a new hotel to be located at Canyon Village, adjacent to the Falls of the Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, to be known as the Canyon Hotel. This hotel incorporated portions of a previous hotel, built in 1891, and was 750 feet long with 400 rooms and 100 baths. Occupying a prominent site on a hillside, it was built in the winter of 1910-1911. The design bore a close resemblance to Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie style work, with a strong horizontal emphasis and a commanding roof line.       By 1918, Reamer had remarried and relocated to Seattle. In 1935, Reamer began to experience health problems that led to the amputation of a leg in 1937. He died in Seattle of a heart attack on January 7, 1938. (Wikipedia)       The centerpiece of the Canyon Hotel was its lounge which had elements of Prairie Styled architecture.       Close to midnight on August 17, 1959 a 7.5 magnatude earthquake struck Yellowstone National Park centered at Hebgen Lake. Over the next few hours four aftershocks shook the Yellowstone area, with magnitudes ranging from 5.8 to 6.5. Damage to the Old Faithful Lodge was minimal. But the Canyon Hotel did not fair as well. It suffered extensive damage and the conclusion was reached that repairs would be to costly. The Canyon Hotel was ordered razed and demolition began. But late on August 8,1960 before it could be completely demolished it caught fire and burned.

This room, 185 feet by 95 feet in dimension, is finished in natural birch and furnished with large upholstered and willow pieces of original patterns, designed by Mrs. H. W. Child.       The hotel, which has been under construction for more than a year, was opened, except for the lounging room, when the park season began, June 15. It was built under incredible difficulties and every pound of material within this great structure, which stretches along the mountainside for 700 feet and is full five stories in height, was brought in by freight wagon and sleds from Gardner, 40 miles away, and for several months, through snowdrifts 10 to 12 feet in depth, with the thermometer far below zero for weeks at a time. The hotel has 450 rooms and 75 bathrooms.       Robert C. Reamer, the architect, spent a year studying the great resort hotels in Europe and this country before making the plans, but found nothing suitable for the canyon, and built the new hotel after ideas of his own. Mr. Reamer was architect for the Old Faithful Inn and the Lake Colonial hotel in the park. The hotel sits on the side of the mountain, in absolute harmony with the natural scenery, within half a mile of the canyon of the Yellowstone.       BOOKS "A Miracle in Hotel Building, Being the Story of the Building of the New Canyon Hotel In Yellowstone Park" Circa 1911 By Raftery, John Hentry; Photographs by Frank. J. Haynes   "...The two regiments of men who spent the winter of 1910-11 building this marvelous mountain hotel have been practically isolated from the world for months. They have worked always seven days of the week ; they had no saloon or club or theater to beguile their time or bemuse their faculties, and even for the younger, pleasure-loving workers there was no diversion, except the fierce thrill of gliding and coasting on skis over the glacier-like slopes of the desolate amphitheatre which surrounded them. There is probably no other like example of hotel-building in history, and the structure which is the result, the scene which it civilizes without desecrating, the strange region which it adorns without vulgarizing are all in keeping and in singular symmetry.  ...Rustic it is not, in the sense that Old Faithful Inn is rustic. Architect Robert C. Reamer, who also contrived and constructed the historic Old Faithful Inn, smiled gravely when I commented upon this impressive feature of his latest and greatest work, saying: "I built it in keeping with the place where it stands. Nobody could improve upon that. To be at discord with the landscape, would be almost a crime. To try to improve upon it, would be an impertinence."   "A Miracle in Hotel Building, Being the Story of the Building of the New Canyon Hotel In Yellowstone Park"  Circa 1911.  Published by the Yellowstone Park Hotel Company.
