Talk:National Park Service rustic

message: I propose the article Parkitecture be merged into this one. The two articles are about the same style for architecture. Readers would be better served with one page that describes the style. The information in the Parkitecture article can easy be accommodated in this page. I think this is the page that should be kept and Parkitecture should be a redirect to this page because National Park Service Rustic is the actual name of the style, Parkitecture is a more colloquial name. -- Patleahy 03:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge is OK by me. Lots of nice pictures and refs in Parkitecture. Novickas 12:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I will go ahead and do this. Since I proposed this the original author (Seattle Skier) of Parkitecture commented out the article on the list of articles he created on his user page. I will take this as tacit approval of the merge. -- Patleahy 23:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I do approve of the merge, since it was obviously the right thing to do.  I was just giving others a chance to comment before adding my 2 cents, but I guess I didn't end up replying in time.  No problem.  Thanks, Seattle Skier 02:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Would it be appropriate to briefly mention Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa as being influenced by tis style? - knoodelhed (talk) 21:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grand Californian Hotel 

message: Would it be possible to change the National Forest, State Park, and US Historical Districts Sections into one section with various subsections?  Oregon Cave National Monument could be placed in the new section, moved from its current awkward location under "Other National Parks", and the earlier suggestion of the Grand Californian Hotel might be included.  Also, should the Mt. Baker Lodge (1927-1931) and the Lake Quenalt Lodge be included, even though they were/are located in land that is now North Cascade National Park and just outside of Olympic National Park.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crandon (talk • contribs) 02:54, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Perhaps this is just a random musing, but why is this style called "National Park Service Rustic" when most of the best examples predate the government bureau created to manage the already-established parks?  "National Park Rustic" seems more honest, or simply "Rustic Architecture."  In contrast, Mission 66 style, as it was a bureau-driven effort, makes sense as "Park Service Modern" rather than "National Park Modern." — Eoghanacht talk 18:14, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll take a look around, I wrote this article a long time ago, as you can see from the referencing style. However, I believe the sources are consistent in using "National Park Service rustic" for the house style that was developed and popularized by the NPS, and specifically by NPS architects.

thread_title:  Is "Service" appropriate? 

message: As others may have noticed, there are also pages on Wikipedia for Rustic architecture and WPA Rustic. Both pages are quite short, and the former offers nothing distinct from this article. I'm wondering, does anyone think it would be correct to merge the three into Rustic architecture, and have "National Parks Service" and "Works Progress Administration" as sub-topics? There's also a page called Architects of the National Park Service. One way or another, this needs some clean up and consideration. Tsc9i8 (talk) 18:36, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
