ARLINGTON HOUSE Historic Structures Report Voume 2

Because the NPS files for the Arlington House during the years 1933 to 1979 in the National Archives at Washington, D.C., and also at the Washington Federal Record Center at Suitland, Maryland, are centralized under the heading of National Capital Parks, and not collected in a geographical file for Arlington House, it was found to be impossible to locate and examine the necessary documents. All NPS documents cited in the two volume study came from the following depositories:

1. Arlington House's Park Master Data File of loose-leaf notebooks for the years 1933 to 1967, on file in the Park Research Library.

2. Arlington House's Subject File, in drawer labeled "Restoration and Repair File," in Arlington House Park Office.

3. Cultural Resources Repository, Cultural Resources Management, (Office of Chief Historian), National Park Service, Washington D. C., Arlington House File, three boxes, 1933-81.
