Beaver Meadows Visitor Center "Built in 1967, the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center was designated a National Historic Landmark in January 2001. It is nationally significant for its contribution to the NPS building program, Mission 66, and for its embodiment of modern National Park Service architecture. Mission 66 was a park building program that began in 1956. Its goal was to transform the NPS to meet postwar conditions, including modernizing visitor facilities. Beaver Meadows Visitor Centers also embodies NPS modern architecture. Taliesin Architects, a design firm started after Frank Lloyd Wright's death in 1959, designed the building. It exemplifies his belief in organic architecture, which attempts to integrate a building into its surroundings. Taliesin Architects, therefore, continued the tradition of rustic design in Rocky Mountain National Park-utilizing modern materials-into the 1960's." -NPS Website |
