"The NPS believes that the two brownstone buildings are better suited to welcome visitors because they are at street level and directly adjacent to parking. H.R. 2857 modifies the original requirement that 10,000 square feet of space in the East Armory be provided for park administration and visitors services. This change simply allows NPS to select an alternative location within the park boundary."
