Queen’s Laundry Bath House

 
 

Read All About It:

Built in 1881, the Queen’s Laundry Bath House was the first building constructed by the Federal government for public use in a national park. The building is a humble beginning to a policy of accommodating tourists in national parks, which would have tremendous influence on how parks were managed. The bath house is the oldest standing building constructed by the U.S. Department of the Interior for a national park function and the only building representing Yellowstone National Park’s early civilian administration from 1872-1886.
