    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produoad from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological meant to photograph and reproduce this document have bean used, the quality it heavily dependant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing paga(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause e blurted image. You will find a good Image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. Whan a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of e large Sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with e small overlap. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could bo made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists Have Gained the Upper Hand in Protecting Historic Buildings

    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists have gained the upper hand in protecting historic buildings. Now the ques- tion is whether examples of modern architecture— such as these three buildings —deserve the same respect as the great buildings of the past. By Larry Van Dyne The church at 16th and I streets in downtown DC does not match the usual images of a vi- sually appealing house of worship. It bears no resemblance to the picturesque churches of New England with their white clapboard and soaring steeples. And it has none of the robust stonework and stained-glass windows of a Gothic cathedral. The Third Church of Christ, Scientist, is modern architecture. Octagonal in shape, its walls rise 60 feet in roughcast concrete with only a couple of windows and a cantilevered carillon interrupting the gray façade. Surrounded by an empty plaza, it leaves the impression of a supersized piece of abstract sculpture. The church sits on a prime tract of land just north of the White House. The site is so valua- ble that a Washington-based real-estate company, ICG Properties, which owns an office building next door, has bought the land under the church and an adjacent building originally owned by the Christian Science home church in Boston. It hopes to cut a deal with the local church to tear down its sanctuary and fill the assembled site with a large office complex. The congregation, which consists of only a few dozen members, is eager to make the deal — hoping to occupy a new church inside the complex.

As such, we seek your review and comment on the proposed undertaking. Existing signage within Rock Creek Park and its administered sites is inconsistent with modem standards, having been installed incrementally over the last 20 years. Further, many areas are lacking identification and visitor wayfinding. This plan represents a sign palette or system that can be used and implemented in the future and provides a consistent and unified look. Signs being designed under this project include park identity signs, roadway signs, and trail signs. The proposed system is based on a modem Uni Guide system and standards, and is being developed by Hunt Designs, which developed the sign system for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Please find enclosed the final sign plan and renderings for your review. Please note, the signs will not all be replaced at once. Instead, replacement and installation of new signs will occur in phases when funding is available, or when an existing sign is at the end of its useable life.

    Invasive Species in the Historic Dumbarton Oaks Garden

    Invasive Species in the Historic Garden: A Field Guide to Dumbarton Oaks Dumbarton Oaks Internship Report Joan Chen Summer intern ‘18, Garden & Landscape Studies Master of Landscape Architecture ‘19, Harvard GSD August 3, 2018 This report provides a brief overview of Beatrix Farrand’s use of plant species that are currently considered “invasive” and outlines management strategies. Farrand’s Plant Book for Dumbarton Oaks, written in 1941 and published by Dumbarton Oaks in 1980, is the main text referenced by this report. The Garden Archives at Dumbarton Oaks, as well as conversations with gardeners, also shaped this study. Two case studies explore how invasive species management might be approached in a historic garden. A spreadsheet with each mention of an invasive plant in Farrand’s Plant Book and its associated management strategies is included in the Appendix, providing a working document for Garden and Grounds staff. The Appendix also contains a brief reading list with titles on garden history, the native/non-native/invasive plant debate, and various plant lists and technical references, as well as a printable pamphlet with information on the six most used invasive plants at Dumbarton Oaks. Overview When Beatrix Farrand described plant growth as invasive, the term “invasive species” had not yet come into use. Her 1941 plant book includes two uses of the word “invasive” while describing maintenance of fast-spreading plants: At the little porter’s lodge, Ivy and Wisteria are used on the building itself, but here again they must not be allowed to become so invasive that the lodge is turned into a green mound.

The coordinates for the Washington Canoe Club are 77.071863 W and 38.904553 N, and they were obtained in January 2013 with, it is assumed, NAD 1983. There is no restriction on the release of the locational data to the public. For research purposes, in the land records for the District of Columbia the Washington Canoe Club was described as within the boundaries of parcel 27/36 in the 1910s and by the 1980s as in square 1180, lot 1. Present Owner/ Occupant: Today, the building is on land within the boundaries of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The clubhouse was built in the early 1900s by the Washington Canoe Club, and subsequently maintained by the Canoe Club membership. After a fire and life safety inspection revealed areas of concern, the National Park Service (NPS) closed the building in 2010.1 The boathouse was unoccupied from that time until early in 2013.
