Today, the Painted Desert Community Complex became one of 24 new National Historic Landmarks announced by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. She remarked that "the new designations depict different threads of the American story that have been told through activism, architecture, music, and religious observance. Their designation ensures future generations have the ability to learn from the past as we preserve and protect the historic value of these properties and the more than 2,500 other landmarks nationwide.”
Front Range prepared the nomination for the 20.3-acre complex in northeast Arizona, which serves as the headquarters for Petrified Forest National Park. The 1961-65 multi-building Mission 66-complex was designed in the International style by architects Richard J. Neutra and Robert E. Alexander of Los Angeles.
