Excerpt from Housing Design and Rehabilitation Guideline: September 1988; Nps-76 The National Park Service Housing Design and Rehabilitation Guideline (nps-76) has been prepared to assist in the planning and design decisions affecting park housing. The need for park housing is fundamental to the management purposes of the Park Service-to achieve stewardship and protect the resources. The quality of park housing, however, influences both the overall visual quality of the park scene and the quality of life for park employees and their families. Accordingly, the design and rehabilitation of park housing must demonstrate nps philosophy concerning the condition of the landscape, the overall design quality, and the maintenance of the built environment as well as concern for the living conditions of the employees caring for our parks.
