ARCHITECTURE IN PARKS 



model or type from which further study in reference to local conditions 

 can frequently evolve a more applicable design. 



All buildings should emanate from and be the result of park con- 

 ditions, designed in furtherance of park interests. After it has been 

 determined that a building is imperative to the welfare of a park and 

 that its presence within the park domain is for that reason justifiable 

 and pertinent, ample attention should be given to its design, that it be 

 a credit to itself and a credit to the park. If it is admitted, on the one 

 hand, that lands dedicated to park use should not be desecrated by the 

 intrusion of promiscuous buildings, it is doubly sure, on the other, that 

 legitimate park buildings should not be left in promiscuous hands, lest 

 irresponsibility in their design militate unjustly against their presence.
