Photograph depicts the Banff Springs Hotel in Fairmont, Alberta, showing a summer view of the hotel and surrounding Rocky Mountains.
The hotel was commissioned by Cornelius Van Horne, the general manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Designed in the Late Victorian chateau style by New York architect Bruce Price, the hotel opened on June 1, 1988 and was rebuilt in 1928 after a fire destroyed much of the original structure.
