Design Guidelines: The White House & President's Park

National Park Service. 1997. Design Guidelines: The White House & President's Park. Washington, D.C.

The intent of design guidelines for the White House and President's Park- including Lafayette Park, the White House and its adjacent grounds, and the Ellipse- is to provide a framework of mutually agreed upon tenets that guide, but do not dictate, future development. Adopting such guidelines will serve to protect the public trust and conserve the area's important resources for future generations of Americans.
