Quinn Evans Architects. 2019. Design and Maintenance Guidelines: Mission 66 Comfort Stations, National Capital Region. National Park Service
This report provides a framework for determining the appropriate architectural character of the comfort stations within the National Capital Region (NCR). The report identifies the Mission 66-style character-defining features and elements such as massing, materials, window position, etc., and develops design and maintenance guidelines to direct the efforts of future planners, architects, and maintenance personnel. The NCR has 42 known comfort stations from the Mission 66 building campaign (1945-1972), constructed from six prototypical plans and three variants.
