    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 8, 2018 CONTACT: Michael Mitchell 202-671-2338 [email protected] OCTFME Recognizes St. Paul’s Rock Creek Cemetery as the October 2018 Location of the Month Washington, D.C. -- The Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment (OCTFME) recognizes St. Paul’s Rock Creek Cemetery as the October 2018 Location of the Month, a fitting choice for the month of Halloween! St. Paul’s Rock Creek Cemetery is a gem of hidden tranquility in the midst of an urban setting. Lush landscape, breathtaking sculptures and notable history combined makes Rock Creek Cemetery the most beautiful and evocative public cemetery in the nation’s capital. Located at Rock Creek Church Road, NW, and Webster Street, NW, in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, DC, it is the city’s oldest cemetery. Dating from 1719, the Cemetery was designed as part of the rural cemetery movement first advocated by the architect Sir Christopher Wren in 1711. The burial ground in the churchyard’s urban space, with its natural 86-acre rolling landscape, functions as both cemetery and public park. The beautiful landscape, the Cemetery’s famous residents, and the stunning variety of sculptures and monuments make Rock Creek Cemetery a place of pilgrimage for people of all faiths and an excellent setting for film, television and event productions. Rock Creek Cemetery serves as the final resting place to some of Washington’s most notable residents including (in alphabetical order): Henry Adams, Author and diplomat Eugene Allen, White House butler for 34 years and inspiration for the 2013 movie, “The Butler” Abraham Baldwin, Signer of the U.S.

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

Next to the President’s House was an orchard, which was identified as President’s Park. When President Jefferson moved into the President’s House in 1801, he noted that the country residence was “free from the noise, the heat...and the bustle of a close built town.” Over the next 100 years, the neighborhood developed with many fashionable homes, including the Octagon and the Ringgold Residence.

    October 15, 2018 Brian D. Joyner Chief of Staff National Mall and Memorial Parks National Park Service 900 Ohio Drive, SW Washington, DC 20024 Via the federal eRulemaking portal http://www.regulations.gov Re: Proposed rule regarding demonstrations and special events in the National Capital Region, 83 Fed. Reg. 40460 (Aug. 15, 2018) Regulation Identifier No. 1024-AE45 Dear Mr. Joyner: The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law (“Brennan Center”) appreciates this opportunity to submit comments on the National Park Service’s (NPS) proposed revisions to Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 7.96 regarding protests for the National Mall, President’s Park and other national parks in the Washington, D.C. area. The Brennan Center is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the United States’ systems of democracy and justice. Through that work, we frequently engage with matters concerning free speech and associational rights, and we frequently rely on these rights in order to advance our interests. Our namesake, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, was one of the strongest defenders of free speech rights to have sat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Unfortunately, many aspects of the proposed regulations are antithetical to the First Amendment and to American values. At the outset we note that these attempts to place onerous conditions on the ability to assemble and protest—highly troubling in their own right—also cannot be viewed in isolation from this administration’s efforts to limit and undermine First Amendment rights and interests in other ways.
