  • 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.

  • The National Capital Urban Design and Security Plan
    The National Capital Urban Design and Security Plan National Capital Planning Commission OCTOBER 2002 November2004Addendum The National Capital Urban Design and Security Plan is the result of close collaboration among the federal and District of Columbia governments, the professional planning and design community, security agencies, and civic, business, and community groups. The Interagency Security Task Force invited key public and private stakeholders to participate as members of its Core Advisory Group. During early development of the plan, National Capital Planning Commission staff presented its security design work to dozens of audiences in Washington and around the country. The plan was released in draft for public comment in July 2002. The Commission received dozens of responses from groups and individuals and carefully consid­ ered those comments in the preparation of this final plan. The National Capital Urban Design and Security Plan is available from the National Capital Planning Commission offices and is online at www.ncpc.gov. First Printing October 2002 Second Printing November 2004 The National Capital Planning Commission is the federal government’s planning agency in the District of Columbia and surrounding counties in Maryland and Virginia.The Commission provides overall planning guidance for federal land and buildings in the region.

DC-9-A Location: West Potomac Park at Ohio Drive spanning the inlet of the Tidal Basin. UTM: 18/323000/4305240 Quad: Washington West, D.C. Dates of Construction: 1908-1909- Altered 1926, 1970, 1986. Architect: Nathan C. Wyeth Engineer: Col. Spencer Cosby, Array Corps of Engineers Present Owner: National Capital Park Region National Park Service Present Use: Vehicular and pedestrian traffic bridge linking East Potomac Park with West Potomac Park. Significance: The Tidal Reservoir Inlet Bridge is a successful blending of engineering designs and necessities while achieving the height of aesthetics. The tidal gates of the inlet control and regulate the water received from the river according to the tidal action and the pressure exerted or not exerted on the tidal gates. As a focal point of Potomac Park, the Tidal Reservoir Inlet Bridge contributed to the monumental design of the Capital City. Its configuration adheres to the park design concept that a bridge should blend into a park setting effectively so as not to detract from the park. The bridge was also designed to include a roadway at a time automobile traffic was only beginning to appear. The design of the bridge shows the influence of the Neo-Classical style with ornate details such as gargoyles and classical balustrades.

    Defining the National Mall to Protect the Historic Legacy and Ensure Its Future Copyright © 2012 rev. 2015 National Mall Coalition www.nationalmallcoalition.org WHERE IS THE NATIONAL MALL? WHY DOES IT MATTER? What are its physical boundaries? Which public buildings, monuments and memorials, and open spaces are part of the Mall? Who are the Mall constituencies besides, of course, the American people? Bizarrely, no one agrees. Capitol White House Washington Monument Lincoln Memorial Jefferson Memorial Photo from Peter Penczer, The Washington National Mall, 2007 THE PROBLEM: A 2003 Congressional Research Service report produced at the request of the U.S. Senate Energy Committee (which has jurisdiction over Mall matters) states that “existing federal statues and regulations do not provide a definition or description of the term ‘the Mall’.” In fact, Federal and District of Columbia Mall-related agencies define the boundaries of the Mall in at least five different ways, diagrammed below. Some definitions include the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Smithsonian museums, others do not. None includes the Capitol or White House. Capitol White House Washington Monument Lincoln Memorial Jefferson Memorial THE PROBLEM (cont.): Even more damaging, none of these existing definitions is consistent with the historic plans – the 1791 L’Enfant Plan and the 1901-1902 McMillan Commission Plan -- that are the historical basis for the Mall design and symbolism. Why are there so many different, contradictory definitions? Why does it matter? What’s the remedy? White House 1791 L’Enfant Plan Washington Monument Lincoln Memorial Jefferson Memorial 1901-1902 McMillan Plan Why are there so many different definitions? The Mall evolved over time … 1790: In surveying the land for the new nation’s capital in 1790, President George Washington set aside three public “Reservations” for what was to become the Mall.
