Description: In the comfort station we have another facility that should not be taken seriously as a landscape or architectural feature until every demand of sanitation and practical need has been properly met. Economy in fulfilment of these requirements makes absurd any indulgence of a too impetuous urge to dress up the structure. The comfort station that is not a part of a building housing other park facilities is very properly so subordinated by location that there is no reason for embellishing the structure to a studiously park-like character. The preferable and usually more effective alternative is to screen both building and approach to it by planting and through careful choice of site. The comfort station is often incorporated in a park building that combines other park needs. Linked up with a shelter or concession building, or as part of a multiple-use building designated as administration, it is forced to a certain elaborateness of dress that as a half hidden separate entity, it does not require. The paramount practical need of proper sanitation implies first of all thorough knowledge of, and strict compliance with, laws, ordinances and other regulatory provisions of governing and jurisdictional agencies. Beyond these are other considerations which may not be disregarded. If the comfort station is located where freezing temperatures prevail during the winter months, and if during that seasons it is not to be heated, there must be provision for ready and complete drainage of water from all piping and fixtures. The importance of smooth and impervious materials for floors, walls, partitions and other such interior surfaces should not be minimized. Funds tend to be scant enough for the cleaning and maintenance of readily cleaned and durable materials, and are certainly hopelessly less than adequate for the upkeep of materials without such merits. Ease of cleaning will determine the degree of cleanliness that will prevail over the long run. In consequence, any conscious effort at rusticity in suiting the exterior of the comfort station to park environment, should be just as consciously forsworn on the interior. Equipment and materials conforming to present day standards of sanitation should be adopted for all details.
