The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures, assists the NPS in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2006), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management. Since launching the CLI nationwide, the NPS, in response to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), is required to report information that respond to NPS strategic plan accomplishments. Two GPRA goals are associated with the CLI: bringing certified cultural landscapes into good condition (Goal 1a7) and increasing the number of CLI records that have complete, accurate, and reliable information (Goal 1b2B). Scope of the CLI The information contained within the CLI is gathered from existing secondary sources found in park libraries and archives and at NPS regional offices and centers, as well as through on-site reconnaissance of the existing landscape. The baseline information collected provides a comprehensive look at the historical development and significance of the landscape, placing it in context of the site’s overall significance. Documentation and analysis of the existing landscape identifies character-defining characteristics and features, and allows for an evaluation of the landscape’s overall integrity and an assessment of the landscape’s overall condition. The CLI also provides an illustrative site plan that indicates major features within the inventory unit. Unlike cultural landscape reports, the CLI does not provide management recommendations or Cultural Landscapes Inventory Page 1 of 68 Farragut Square National Mall & Memorial Parks - L'Enfant Plan Reservations treatment guidelines for the cultural landscape. Inventory Unit Description: Farragut Square is a formal urban park, located a short distance north of the White House and occupying a rectangular site bounded by major streets: K Street on the north, I Street on the south, and 17th Street on both the east and west. It has changed little since the first improvements were made in the 1870s. Farragut Square and its sister park, McPherson Square, two blocks to the east, each form part of a “patte d’oie” in relation to the White House grounds and Lafayette Park. A patte d’oie, or goose foot, was a standard element of Baroque landscape planning, comprising a central axis breaking into three separate axes. A bronze statue of Civil War hero Admiral David Glasgow Farragut stands on a granite pedestal in the center of the park. Diagonal walks symmetrically bisect the park, intersecting at a paved area circling the statue’s elliptical plot. A pair of parallel walks, essentially laid out in plan as a loop, runs from the park’s northwest corner to the southeast, following the line of Connecticut Avenue, a thoroughfare which for a brief time (1873 to 1881) cut through the site. Similarly, a single diagonal walk leads from the northeast corner to the southwest. Sidewalks surround the park on all sides, and two short walks lead from the park’s center to sidewalks on the east and west. All walks are paved with concrete divided into square sections. Between the walks are panels of grass. The outer edges of panels, along the sidewalks, are surrounded by quarter-round concrete curbing. Deciduous trees are planted irregularly on the lawns and along the walks. High-rise office and commercial structures surround the park on all sides. Where Farragut Square once served, in effect, as the front garden for imposing mansions, it is now an urban park used by workers from surrounding office buildings. The main focal point within the park is the Farragut monument, and the most prominent vista outside the park is the view south along the Connecticut Avenue corridor to Lafayette Park. Over forty benches are staggered along the park walkways. All of these are new, with elaborately scrolled iron supports and arms (including two side arms and a central arm), and wooden slats. Eight light posts stand along the walks. The posts are a modern, simplified version of a classical column, a type known as the “Washington Standard,” and support Lexan (a thermoplastic resin) versions of the standard urn-shaped “Washington Globe” lamp. New steel-slat trash receptacles are placed between the benches and around the park’s perimeter. Two new steel handicap-accessible drinking fountains are placed near the statue. Farragut Square is heavily used. The majority of visitors are office workers walking through the park as part of their daily commute, but many people come to the park to enjoy picnic lunches or to attend concerts and movies in the summers. Bicycle couriers use it as a central gathering place. Many homeless people frequent the park. Overall, the park has medium integrity. Most of the tree species remain the same. Two trees, a gingko and a sophora, date from before 1886. Other trees are older deciduous specimens likely dating from Cultural Landscapes Inventory Page 2 of 68 Farragut Square National Mall & Memorial Parks - L'Enfant Plan Reservations the period of significance, or newer deciduous trees occupying similar locations as older trees. Therefore, the general pattern of tree planting has remained similar to that during the period of significance. The pattern and species of shrub and flower beds changed several times before 1965; hedges and beds of flowering annuals, installed at the ends of the loop described by the parallel walks in 1965 during the Beautification Program, were removed in 2004. The circulation system has been changed only slightly since the removal of Connecticut Avenue in 1881 – the paving materials have been altered and replaced, the two east-west spur paths were added in 1901, and the sidewalks have been widened, the west sidewalk in 2004. Most small-scale features in Farragut Square have recently been replaced; as a result, few have integrity. Cultural Landscapes Inventory Page 3 of 68 Farragut Square National Mall & Memorial Parks - L'Enfant Plan Reservations Site Plan In 2003/2004, shrub and flower beds at ends of diagonal panels were removed, ends of diagonal panels were reshaped, and sidewalk along west side was widened.

Each essay examines a different aspect of the city: its monumentality as determined by its relationship with the nation it governs, the linear network of its plan, the 'objectness' of its principal buildings, and finally, the signifigance of nature. Their structure and the manner in which they view the city are tailored to their respective topics. Together they represent a body of work whose intent is to explore those issues which distinguish Washington. The premise for this approach is a belief that cities should be understood for what they are, not only for what they are like or what they are not.

  • Running Routes from Yates
    Running & Hiking Routes Out of Yates (plus a few bonus routes) Many of the following routes are a kilometer one side or the other of 10K, but many can also be shortened or extended as you desire. I welcome your questions and clarifications: [email protected] (Tom Sherman, 7-7044) The convention in DC is that walkers, runners and cyclists stay to the right on paths and trails, passing on the left; make your life easier and stay to the right. Another convention in DC is for motorists to run you over, so please run with caution, without headphones, and never run in front of a driver that you have not make eye contact with. If passing someone closely on the left, especially someone elderly, it is good form to announce “on your left” even as a runner. Do not feel required to run out of the Yates Field House, for many of the runs described below may proceed through your neighborhood, in which case, join the route from there. Another great strategy is to use GUTS bus routes and Metro to take you to a destination from which you can run home. This is a great way to learn the city and to see areas otherwise too far to run through as a loop. Many additional DC trails are detailed on the DC area trail map that can be downloaded here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/706401/Rock%20Creek%20Park%20Map.pdf Exits and Entrances to Yates To condense the route descriptions in the following pages, I will refer to the various exits and entrances to the Georgetown campus as displayed below: A: Medical Center Entrance 4 exit and entrance – turn right immediately out of Yates, circling behind Yates and following the path/road out of Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) entrance 4.

  • Spain in Washington a Guide
    SPAIN IN WASHINGTON: A GUIDE 'Two Women at a Window' by Murillo, National Gallery of Art 4 5 3 1 2 13 6-10 11 15 12 EMBAJADA DE ESPAÑA WASHINGTON, D.C. GUIA-WASHINGTON - 18,5 de ancho x 26 cm de largo.indd 1 17/2/20 18:10 GUIA-WASHINGTON - 18,5 de ancho x 26 cm de largo.indd 2 17/2/20 18:10 Welcome to Washington, D.C.! Spain and the United States share a long, rich, and fruitful history that has expanded into modern times. This relationship can be seen throughout the country in everything from state flags and Spanish words to architecture and symbols originating from Spain. Washington, D.C., as the capital of the United States, offers a very complete view of this relationship. Washington is home to statues of Bernardo de Gálvez, the Spanish hero of the American Revolution and honorary U.S. citizen, masterpieces from Spanish greats, like Velázquez, El Greco, Picasso, and Miró, multiple honorary tributes to Christopher Columbus, and a slew of artistic pieces that pay homage to Spain and its explorers and missionaries in the U.S. Capitol Building. The variety and extensive nature of Spain’s presence in Washington alone is a testament to the importance of the relationship our countries share, one that we continuously work to expand and improve across sectors. This guide will teach you more about this relationship. I invite you to use it to get a taste of Spain in Washington and to give your time in D.C., whether as a tourist or a local, a Spanish touch.
