PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: The Visitor Center building was designed in 1958-1959 and dedicated 1960. It is one of twenty-eight Mission 66 era visitor centers constructed between 1956 and 1966 in National Park Service units designated as national monuments. The building has undergone substantial modifications, including new siding and a new roof in 1993, and a major expansion in 2007. The expansion increased the size of the building, from 3,000 to 18,000 square feet and significantly altered its appearance. Because of this, the Visitor Center no longer retains its historic integrity and it is not a contributing resource.

The Maintenance Building located just south of the Visitor Center was built at the same time as the Visitor Center, also as part of the Mission 66 program. An open breezeway to the east links the two buildings. There have been few apparent exterior alterations to the building. The structure is one-story, with an asphalt covered gable roof installed in 2007. It is contributing to the second period of significance.

The goal of the project is to replace the roof coverings on both structures and the connecting breezeway.
