  • 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.

  • What's out There Weekend
    September 25-26, 2010 What’s Out There Weekend Washington, D.C. September 2010 Dear TCLF Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Weekend! The materials in this booklet will tell you all you need to know about engaging in this exciting event, the first in a series which we hope to continue in other cities throughout the United States. On September 25-26 in Washington, D.C., TCLF will host What’s Out There Weekend, providing residents and visitors an opportunity to discover and explore more than two dozen free, publicly accessible sites in the nation’s capital. During the two days of What’s Out There Weekend, TCLF will offer free tours by expert guides. Washington, D.C. has one of the nation’s great concentrations of designed landscapes – parks, gardens and public spaces – laid out by landscape architects or designers. It’s an unrivaled legacy that stretches back more than 200 years and includes Pierre L’Enfant’s plan for the city, Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr.’s design for the U.S. Capitol grounds and Dan Kiley’s plaza at the National Gallery of Art. Throughout the weekend, expert guides will lead tours that shed new light on some of the city’s most iconic landscapes and introduce you to places you may not have known before. TCLF’s goal is to make visible these sites and their stories just like the capital city’s great buildings, monuments and memorials. The What’s Out There Weekend initiative dovetails with the web-based What’s Out There (WOT), the first searchable database of the nation’s historic designed landscapes.
