(1) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

This project includes the restoration and painting of the historic exterior stucco and pebble dash of the Old Administration Building located at Arlington National Cemetery. The Old Administrative Building at Arlington National Cemetery (FMSS 25759565, PMIS 319907) once functioned as the administrative offices for Arlington National Cemetery. Before it was converted into an administration building, George Washington Parke Custis kept his horse stables here. The original structures are lost, but the current building resembles historic photographs. This building currently serves as an office for the GWMP park rangers at Arlington House. The proposed repairs and rehabilitation to the exterior envelope shall ensure the current aesthetics still resemble the likeness of the previous building as well as provide longevity for the exterior envelope.
