Looking at the hotel today, the challenges it has faced over the past century may not be readily apparent. However, it has stood the test of time against fires, floods, winds, extreme weather, and wildlife encounters. By the late 1990s, the National Trust for Historic Preservation placed it, along with other historic structures in Glacier National Park, on its annual list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Soon after, in 2001, Congress appropriated money for the National Park Service to embark upon a 17-year, 42-million dollar, rehabilitation project.
This multi-phased project, completed in 2018, addressed life-safety issues like wiring and plumbing and restored historic features like the honeycomb roof pattern and exterior paint scheme. Thanks to the vision of preservation specialists and the hard work by many, the Many Glacier Hotel will continue long into the future as a visitor accommodation, a symbol of our national history, and a reminder of what vision and hard work can accomplish.
