Great Northern Railway Buildings

The Great Northern Railway Buildings are a set of five building complexes in or near Glacier National Park in Montana. They were built by the Great Northern Railway during the period of the park's founding to provide a unified tourist experience to visitors to the park, using the Swiss chalet as a b

uilding model. The building complexes, each separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are: Belton Chalets Granite Park Chalet Many Glacier Hotel Sperry Chalet Two Medicine General Store Four of these complexes were declared a discontiguous National Historic Landmark District in 1987, notable as the largest such concentration of Swiss chalet architecture in the country. In May 2000, the designation was amended to include the Belton Chalets, which differs from the other buildings in being located just outside the park.
