BOZEMAN – A first for Yellowstone National Park and a rare designation for a historic building, the Yellowstone Park Foundation announced June 2 that the 87-year-old Old Faithful Haynes Photo Shop earned LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
“Yellowstone National Park is often at the forefront of the sustainable movement – from recycling gas cylinders to the use of soy biodiesel in the park’s vehicles – and this project is an extension of that commitment,” said Dan Wenk, Supt. of Yellowstone National Park.
The shop’s construction began in September 2012, and was completed for the grand opening on June 21, 2013. YPF and the park funded the restoration at a cost of $2.1 million.
The project received 75 out of 76 attempted points in seven LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification areas: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation in design, and regional priority credits.
Some of the innovative elements included in the restoration are reuse of the original building structure, windows and exterior materials; salvaged and recycled materials sourced from regional manufacturers; energy-efficient lights activated by occupancy sensors throughout the building; and reductions in light pollution.
“This project presented special challenges because we not only had to modernize the building, but maintain its historic integrity,” said Lesley Gilmore, Director of Historic Preservation Services for CTA Architects Engineers. Bozeman-based CTA provided architectural and engineering services for the project.
Built in 1927 and located in the Old Faithful area of Yellowstone, the structure once housed one of F. Jay Haynes photo shops. Haynes was the first photo concessionaire in the park.
“Today it is a showcase for creative exhibits, videos, vintage photographs, displays that highlight exciting projects supported by YPF, and original Haynes memorabilia that date from around 1900,” said YPF President Karen Bates Kress.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
