Lookout Studio, Gift shop and historic studio in Grand Canyon Village, United States

Mary Colter designed this rustic building in 1914 as part of the early tourism infrastructure development at Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim.
The building represents a milestone in national park architecture, integrating local materials and Native American construction methods into its structural design.
