[http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/79000283.nl.pdf NHL Writeup] ] . It has been modified slightly and is still in use today, though it is now managed by the National Park Service. It is representative of the Bay Area architectural influences, adapted for the extreme weather variations on the high valley.
