Comfort Station No. 68

Government and Civic Buildings

Comfort Station No. 68, also known as the Plaza Comfort Station, is a public restroom and shower building in the Rim Village area of Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon. It was built in 1938 in the National Park Service Rustic style to serve park visitors and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Although a central stone chimney has since been removed, the building retains its original rustic character and continues to operate seasonally during the summer, since the high altitude of the park makes year round operation impractical.

Fortification, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
