Beginning in 1876, Fred Harvey opened his first railroad eating house, which would become America's first chain restaurant. Part of what distinguished these establishments was the service of the well-mannered and respectable Harvey Girls and the architectural designs of Mary Colter.

Located in the Southwest along the Santa Fe Railway, these restaurants and hotels aimed for both luxury and cohesion within the varying spectacular landscapes. In this lecture, we look at some of Mary Colter's designs such as the Bright Angel Lodge and Phantom Ranch complexes at the Grand Canyon, La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona, and the Harvey Restaurant at Union Station in Los Angeles.
