BOLA Architecture + Planning 320 Terry Avenue North Seattle, Washington 98109 206.447.4749 1 1. INTRODUCTION This section provides background information about the study that resulted in this report. It describes the purpose of the study and states the goals of the report. The methodology and its participants are noted along with research documents and their sources. It also identifies themes that emerged from the research, and the institutional and regulatory framework for implementation of the Arboretum Master Plan, which was adopted in 2001. Purpose In late 2002 Seattle Parks and Recreation, representing the Arboretum and Botanical Garden Committee (ABGC) sought to document the history of the Washington Park Arboretum as a prerequisite to implement the Arboretum Master Plan. The master plan, Renewing the Washington Park Arboretum, was developed with a significant understanding of the history of Washington Park and the Arboretum, and it will serve as the future management (and development) plan and management philosophy. The master plan contains Implementation Guidelines and EIS Mitigation Measures that outline steps to document the historic status of elements within the Arboretum, and consider measures to ensure integrity of cultural resources during the plan’s implementation. The purpose of this study is to document the history of Washington Park and the Washington Park Arboretum and meet the requirements of the guidelines and mitigation measures. This study provides information for entities that implement the master plan to identify options for addressing cultural resources and identify park elements that are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or designation as City of Seattle landmarks. As a compilation of history, this report is intended to give readers an understanding of the milestones and key layers in the historic development of the Park and Arboretum. It provides a record of the actions of individuals, designers, members of the public, agencies and administrators who have collectively created the Park and Arboretum as they exist today. The goal of the report is to provide the reader an understanding of the factual history of the property, the changes that have occurred over time, and the presence and integrity of elements with potential historic significance. The report provides a bibliography of sources to aid further research, and appendices with other information. The study was undertaken by consultants Susan Boyle, of BOLA Architecture + Planning, and Karen Kiest, of Karen Kiest Landscape Architects, with assistance from landscape historian Professor David Streatfield, and Northwest Archaeological Associates (NWAA). Scope of the Study This report is an illustrated narrative, based on historic documents, including primary and secondary sources, about Washington Park and the Washington Park Arboretum. The report covers the historic period from the era of pre-settlement and the pioneer era of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, up through the early 1970s. The period of study was historic, and the report does not document more recent events and activities. However, it acknowledges those that have impacted the historic character of the property, such as construction of the Graham Visitors Center and the increasing traffic on Lake Washington Boulevard. Readers and researchers are encouraged to use the sources provided in the bibliography to gain more in-depth information about specific elements. This report concludes Phase 1 of a three phase effort, that of research and documentation of the property’s history. It will serve as the basis for the subsequent two phases. Phase 2 will identify elements within the Arboretum that may be eligible for landmark status, and develop strategies to address these while implementing the Master Plan. Phase 3 is the preparation of required landmark nomination forms. Washington Park Arboretum Historic Review 2 BOLA Architecture + Planning & Karen Kiest Landscape Architects 1. Introduction Methodology Meetings were held at the inception of the project with the Arboretum Director, ABGC members, and representatives of the Arboretum Foundation and Seattle Parks and Recreation. The study team also met with the University of Washington Capital Projects Office to identify the University’s ongoing effort to establish review procedures similar to those used on the main campus. Meetings were held with several review agencies including the City of Seattle’s Department of Neighborhood’s Office of Historic Preservation Officer, and the State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP). Documents were collected from these agencies and from the City’s Department of Design Construction and Land Use (DCLU). The team’s consulting archaeologists reviewed compliance procedures of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and identified steps necessary for National Register eligible projects and those with on-site archaeological remains. Visual Assessment The team began a visual assessment of the Arboretum with several site tours in the fall 2002 to inventory and photograph key views or areas, based on initial historic research. (Several areas were re-photographed in 2003.) With the conclusion of research, the team returned to analyze these key areas. The assessment documents elements within the Arboretum that represent design intentions, planned experiential qualities, and character defining features. However, the scope of the assessment in this report was limited, and thus the elements included in this portion of the report may not be comprehensive. The visual assessment charts changes and current conditions, including remnants of earlier, and realized designs, and the physical integrity of remaining elements. Research Sources The Washington Park Arboretum has a lengthy and complex history that involved many people and groups. Thus research documents were collected for review from many available sources. Documents included primary source materials -- letters, telegrams, reports, contracts, ordinances, and lists of building elements and plants, estimates, planning and design drawings – and secondary ones, such as periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, theses and unpublished reports, maps and photographs. Sources of research materials included Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the City of Seattle’s Municipal Archives (MA) and Office of Historic Preservation; the University of Washington Archives and Special Collections (MSCUA), the Miller Library at the Center for Urban Horticulture (CUH), the Seattle Public Library (SPL), and the National Association of Olmsted Parks (NAOP). The Friends of Seattle Olmsted Parks (FSOP) provided special assistance as their research included documents from the archives at Fairsted, the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts, and the Library of Congress Olmsted records, Series B. The study team attended a Seattle Garden Club sponsored lecture by Phillis Anderson, of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, in early March, and the NAOP conference in Seattle in early May 2003. The team also reviewed two unpublished master theses: Bonita D. Ross, “The Washington Park Arboretum: Historical Land Use Assessment and Analysis,” (University of Michigan, April 2003) and Scot Medbury, “The Olmsted Taxonomic Arboretum and Its Application to Washington Park, Seattle,” (University of Washington, Center for Urban Horticulture, 1990). The research assistance provided by these sources and others was invaluable to the study team.

  • Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start
    Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens e-Newsletter February 2021 EDITION Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start Master Plan Process Jacksonville, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2021) – Later this month, the Arboretum will begin the exciting process of developing a master plan to design and install botanical gardens on the property. The master plan process was made possible by generous grants of $30,000 from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund and $10,000 from the River Branch Foundation. The planning process will take about eight months to complete. The addition of botanical gardens is the latest in a continuous plan to propel the Arboretum into a best-in-class destination in the southeast. Executive Director Dana Doody noted that each project is being planned carefully to add as much value as possible while managing the non-profit’s budget plan in unprecedented times. In addition to the grant for the master plan design, the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund also awarded the Arboretum a $70,000 challenge grant for the first phase of the implementation. The 1:1 challenge grant will launch a community campaign following the completion of the design plan. “The Arboretum is an important community asset which brings thousands of people to its special trails, many of which are ADA accessible,” said Delores Barr Weaver. “The plan will provide a vision for a botanical destination, sure to benefit our citizens for years to come.” The process will take into account the Arboretum’s unique qualities, Florida’s seasons and Jacksonville’s ecosystems and native horticulture.

Article describes the scene "in the very heart of the city . These up-to-date stables contain ample accommodations for 250 horses, with every safeguard and comfort in the way of ventilation, cleanliness etc. that modern sanitary science can provide . An elaborate sprinkler system of the most approved and efficient type . is practically an absolute guarantee against serious damage by fire. The management solicits an inspection at any time." Development Western Mill, early 1890s, at the south end of Lake Union and the principal employer for the greater Cascade neighborhood Development accelerated after David Denny built the Western Mill in 1882, near the site of today’s Naval Reserve Center, and cut a barrier at Montlake to float logs between the lakes. Homes soon began to appear on the Lake Union’s south shore, ranging from the ornate Queen Anne-style mansion built by Margaret Pontius in 1889 (which served as the “Mother Ryther Home” for orphans from 1905 to 1920) to humble worker's cottages. The latter housed a growing number of immigrants from Scandinavia, Greece, Russia, and America’s own teeming East, attracted by jobs in Seattle’s burgeoning mills and on its bustling docks. Beginning in 1894, their children attended Cascade School -- which finally gave the neighborhood a name -- and families worshipped on Sundays at St.

  • Historic Cemetery Resources
    HISTORIC CEMETERY RESOURCES Technical Paper No. 11 Historic Preservation Program, Department of Natural Resources & Parks, 20l S. Jackson Street, Suite 700, Seattle, WA 98104, 206-477-4538 | TTY Relay: 711 Introduction Cemeteries and funerary objects are often of value beyond their traditional role as personal and family memorials or religious sacramentals. They may be historically significant as landmarks, designed landscapes or as repositories of historical information relating to communities, ethnic heritage and other heritage topics. The following resources have been compiled for individuals and organizations interested in cemetery records, research and preservation. Records & Research Area genealogical societies, museums, historical societies, pioneer associations, libraries and hereditary associations often have records and publications of interest. Among the organizations with information on cemeteries are: Seattle Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 15329, Seattle WA 98115-0329 South King County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 3174, Kent, WA 98089-0203 Eastside Genealogical Society. P.O. Box 374, Bellevue, WA 98009-0374 Seattle Public Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104-1109 Pioneer Association of the State of Washington, 1642 43rd Avenue E., Seattle, WA 98112 Fiske Genealogical Foundation, 1644 43rd Avenue E., Seattle, WA 98112-3222 Many historical societies and museum groups around King County have been instrumental in preserving and maintaining cemeteries.

    ASSESSMENT OF SASAJISCYMNUS TSUGAE, SCYMNUS SINUANODULUS, AND LARICOBIUS NIGRINUS: PREDATOR BEETLES RELEASED TO CONTROL THE HEMLOCK WOOLLY ADELGID IN GEORGIA by CERA ELIZABETH JONES (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT Eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis, and Carolina hemlock, Tsuga caroliniana, are being threatened by the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae. Adelges tsugae, is currently found throughout most of the range of T. canadensis and the entire range of T. caroliniana and arrived in Georgia in 2003. In an attempt to preserve the hemlocks, biological control predatory beetles Sasajiscymnus tsugae, Laricobius nigrinus, and Scymnus sinuanodulus are being mass reared and released. The objectives considered in this research are to: 1. Determine establishment of these biological control agents in the North Georgia mountains. 2. To determine aestivation survival and time of emergence of L. nigrinus.

Americanization and Cultural Preservation in Seattle's Settlement House: A Jewish Adaptation of the Anglo-American Model of Settlement Work ALISSA SCHWARTZ New York City This articleexamines the dual agendas of Americanization and preserva- tion of Ashkenazic Jewish culture through an historicalanalysis of the work of Seattle's Settlement House, a social service center founded in 1906 by elite, Americanized Jews to serve poorer, immigrant Jews of Ashkenazic and Sephardic origin. Such analysis is set against the ideologicalbackdrop of Anglo-Americanism which pervaded the field of social work in its early efforts at self-definition and professionalization.Particular attention is paid to the role of the arts at Settlement House, with comparisons to Chicago's Hull-House, the prototypical American settlement operating at the turn of the century. This case study analyzes a German Jewish adaptationof an Anglo-American, Christian model of social work.
