	Old Faithful Inn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Old Faithful Inn is a hotel located in Yellowstone National Park, with a clear view of the renowned Old Faithful Geyser.

		On August 17, 1959 the Old Faithful Inn was shaken by a massive earthquake which collapsed the dining room fireplace chimney, and also damaged the huge lobby fireplace, reducing the number of usable hearths from eight to two.
