Ocmulgee National Monument: Visitor Center Historic Structure Report
Oppermann JK and NPS - Southeast Region, Cultural Resources Division. 2008. Ocmulgee National Monument: Visitor Center Historic Structure Report. Historic Structure Report. Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Beneficial to both the documentation and preservation processes, the building retains a great deal of its 1939-51 building fabric and characteristics. These should be retained, conserved and celebrated. Some parts of the building have been remodeled. It is highly desirable to restore some areas, especially the major public spaces. In general, the building is well maintained and in good condition except for a persistent, long term leakage problem at the terrace. In summation, the building is a major icon of the Park Service and the Modernist Movement. This building, largely pristine and in good condition, presents enormous opportunities to interpret and promote an important but not well understood epoch in Park Service history, as well as the larger historical context of Modern Architecture.
