Description of Proposal: Rezoning Ten Blocks in the South Street Seaport Historic District from C6-4 to C6-2A This proposal is for a zoning map change and text amendment for the portion of the South Street Seaport Historic District that is presently zoned C6-4. This 10-block area, bounded by Dover, Pearl, Fulton and South Streets, includes the following tax blocks: 95, 96W, 96E, 97W and 97E, 98, 106, 107W, 107E, 107 (see Figure 1). This rezoning area encompasses all but two blocks and three piers of the Historic District: the two blocks of the Historic District south of Fulton Street zoned C5-3, and the piers east of South Street zoned C2-8 (see Figure 2, South Street Seaport Historic District Map, Figure 3, Zoning Sections, and Figure 3A, Detailed Zoning Map indicating area to be rezoned). The proposed zoning designation is C6-2A (see Figure 3B, Proposed Zoning). These 10 blocks have been selected for rezoning because they represent the only C6-4 blocks in the historic district. Most of the C5-3 zoning lies outside the historic district, with the exception of the historic Schermerhorn Row block and One Seaport Plaza, a 35-story office tower built with air rights from the Seaport District.

The estate is on the high ridge that forms the northern edge of Georgetown. Dumbarton Oaks Park, which was separated from the formal gardens when it was given to the National Park Service, consists of 27.04 acres designed as the "naturalistic" component of a total composition which included the mansion and the formal gardens.

    Landscape Matters: News from GLS, Fall 2011 The Garden and Landscape Studies program at Dumbarton Oaks is pleased to share with you the following announcements regarding 2011-12 fellows, fellowship applications, new programs, forthcoming lectures and symposium, and new publications. GLS 2010-11 fellows in “Easy Rider,” the installation by contemporary artist Patrick Dougherty in the Ellipse. Image courtesy Nathaniel P. VanValkenburgh. Survey of Former Fellows First, we would like to thank all the former fellows, project grant recipients, and senior fellows who took the time to complete the survey we circulated in anticipation of the 40th anniversary of the Garden and Landscape Studies program. We are now considering how best to share this information among all of you. Meanwhile, you might be interested in a few general observations. Nearly all respondents expressed appreciation for the time, space, and resources that Dumbarton Oaks provides for scholars in garden history and landscape studies. Many of you remarked on the uniqueness of our program, offering residential facilities in the context of a fabulous garden and an extraordinary library. Quite a few of you noted that the program covers virtually limitless chronological, geographical, and disciplinary fields, and is addressed to academics and design professionals alike. For some of you, this breadth exposes a fault line in the program—as in the larger field—between history and practice. Some of you thought GLS ought to be more attentive to one or the other, while others insisted the distinctive mission of the program was to provide a bridge between the two. The origins of this fault line lie deep in the history of program.

    PO Box 199 Hudson, NY 12534-0199 518-828-1872 www.olana.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 20, 2016 The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House” An exhibition showcasing original concept sketches by 21 architects and landscape architects, inspired by Frederic Church’s OLANA June 20th, 2016, New York, NY: The Olana Partnership, in collaboration with the New York chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIANY) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA-NY), is pleased to announce a design exhibition at Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Titled Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House, the exhibition unites noted architects and landscape architects and is curated by The Olana Partnership with guest co-curator Jane Smith, AIA, of Spacesmith. The exhibition addresses one of the great mysteries at Olana -- the Summer House – and it runs from August 14th through November 13th, 2016 in Olana’s Coachman’s House Gallery. Olana is the 250-acre creation of American landscape artist Frederic Church and exists in the birthplace of America’s first native art movement, the Hudson River School. Considered Frederic Church’s great masterpiece, Olana combines art, architecture, design and conservation ideals. In the 1886 “Plan of Olana,” a detailed blueprint of Church’s vision for his large-scale designed landscape, the plan’s details are largely accurate, yet it contains a structure labeled “Summer House”, which doesn’t exist today. Lacking documentary evidence to demonstrate the design and style of this structure, 21 architects and landscape architects were invited to participate in public interpretation at Olana.
