  • 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.

  • Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
    Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America.

PREFACE In this compilation, articles were transcribed from The Alleganian, a Cumberland newspaper, The Sun, a Baltimore newspaper (identified by Sun appearing before the article), Georgetown Advocate (identified by GA appearing before the article) and Daily American Telegraph (identified by DAT appearing before the article) two Washington, D. C. newspapers, and Alexandria Gazette (identified by AG appearing before the article) an Alexandria, Va. newspaper, unless otherwise footnoted. The articles were compiled, chronologically in a two-column format, just as they appeared in the newspapers. Note that no boats loaded on Sunday; if it was just that the newspaper did not publish on Sunday, then the Monday edition would have listed the Sunday traffic. It does not. Some dates during the boating season were missing. The Alleganian newspaper was found on microfilm at the library at Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD. The Sun, the Georgetown Advocate the Daily American Telegraph and the Alexandria Gazette newspapers were found on-line. The research continues because the reader may yet find a missing date or a canal related article from another newspaper. There is a lot of duplication in information due to the different newspapers publishing similar articles about, for example Canal Trade, wherein the reporters for the newspapers had different deadlines for reporting the data and thus the lists have different boats, distances, and/or cargo.

Millay the lost rivers of washington: can a city’s hydrologic past inform its future? Curtis A. Millay Abstract Washington, D.C., like many older U.S. cities, suffers the woes of rapid urbanization and aging in- frastructure. The city’s combined sewer and stormwater system dumps millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers over 70 times annually during signifi cant rain events. While many groups, both public and private, attempt to clean the river, billions of dollars are still necessary over several years to remedy the combined sewer overfl ow (CSO) problem alone. Current plans for a solution include constructing large underground storage tanks that store millions of gal- lons of wastewater during overfl ow periods. Washington, however, once had a network of waterways that naturally drained the Federal City. At least three major stream systems—the Tiber Creek, James Creek and Slash Run—and over 30 springs fl owed within the boundaries of the emerging capital.

  • 1900 Newspaper Reports
    COMPILATION OF CANAL TRADE ARTICLES FROM CUMBERLAND ALLEGANIAN a Cumberland, Md. newspaper and THE BALTIMORE SUN a Baltimore, Md., newspaper and TIMES and EVENING STAR two Washington, D. C., newspapers 1900 Compiled by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer [email protected] FEBRUARY 2020 Canal Trade - 1900 A. PREFACE In this compilation, all the Canal Trade articles were transcribed from the Cumberland Alleganian, a Cumberland, Md. newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, a Baltimore, Md. newspaper, the Times, a District of Columbia newspaper and the Evening Star another District of Columbia newspaper of the era. The articles were compiled, chronologically in a two-column format, much as they appeared in the newspaper. Articles from Cumberland Alleganian are preceded by CA, those from the Baltimore Sun are preceded by Sun, those from the Times are preceded by Times, and those from the Evening Star are preceded by ES. The newspapers were found on-line. There may be some duplication or overlapping of stories due to the varied sources, date of publication, and local interest. The research continues because the reader may yet find a missing date, or better yet, a missing newspaper. Readers will notice that articles from the Times newspaper tend to be very long articles. I hesitated to include them due to their length, but decided their inclusion would give some perspective of life in Washington, D. C. in 1900. Readers not interested should just skip over those articles. Readers are encouraged to search the enclosed report for information on their ancestor, as their time and interest permits. Feel free to send additional observations for the benefit of others.

  • Federal Triangle Stormwater Drainage Study Full
    Acknowledgments ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The District of Columbia (District) experienced a severe storm from June 24-26, 2006 which caused extensive flooding within the Federal Triangle area, resulting in millions of dollars in damage. Several Federal and District agencies formed a Federal Triangle Stormwater Drainage Study Working Group to identify measures to reduce the risk and impact of flooding in the future. The Working Group held a series of meetings that investigated the existing sewer system in relation to the Federal Triangle, identified the storm frequencies and durations to be modeled and analyzed, identified interior rainfall and the Potomac River as causes of flooding, identified and evaluated alternatives to reduce the frequency of flooding, and developed a plan for further investigations to finalize a flood control strategy based upon the findings of the Study. Greeley and Hansen would like to thank the members of the Working Group for their hard work, commitment, and assistance with the preparation of this Study. The Working Group includes: • General Services Administration (GSA) • District of Columbia Office of Planning (DCOP) • District of Columbia Department of the Environment (DDOE) • District of Columbia Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (DC HS&EMA) • District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) • Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) • National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) • National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) • National Gallery of Art (NGA) • National Park Service (NPS) • Smithsonian Institution (SI) • U.S. Department of Justice (US DOJ) • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) • Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) July 2011 Acknowledgments This Page Intentionally Left Blank July 2011 Table of Contents DC WATER Washington D.C.
