Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "Welcome Center (#16 on sketch map)- Until the 1930s, Arlington House served as the primary contact point for visitors, and then the Old Administration Building until the 1960s. The present Welcome Center and adjacent parking deck were completed in 1988 and replaced an earlier temporary visitors center located east of Eisenhower Drive. The Welcome Center is a public building and is the primary contact point for visitors to the cemetery. For many years, The Welcome Center, designed by Sasaki and Associates, is a low, one-story building of stucco and limestone featuring classically inspired porticos on the northern, eastern, and western sides. A semi-circular, barrel-vaulted skylight runs through the middle of the building, illuminating the information desk and central interior court."
