NewsletterWINTER 2018 VOLUME XLII | ISSUE 1 | WWW.CAGTOWN.ORG JOIN THE CONVERSATION GU Hosts CAG February 27th eorgetown University will host CAG's next public meeting on Tuesday, February 27th at the Healy Family Center. The reception will begin at 7:30 PM and program at 8 PM. GMarcia Chatelain, Ph.D., Associate professor of History at Georgetown University, will speak on topics of institutional racism and steps the University is taking to address their history of slavery through reconciliation. Chatelain is a public voice on the history of African American children, race in America, as well as social movements. In 2014, Chatelain organized her fellow scholars in a social media response to the crisis in Ferguson, Missouri, which has led to similar initiatives online and has shaped curricular projects in K-12 settings, as well as academia. A frequent public speaker and consultant to educational institutions, Chatelain delivers lectures and workshops on inclusive teaching, social movements, and food justice. Chatelain is a member of the Working Group on Slavery, Memory and Reconciliation. Their mission has been to acknowledge and recognize the University’s historical relationship to the institution of slavery. The Working Group has focused on Georgetown's connection to slavery and has searched for information on living descendants of the many slaves owned by Jesuits associated with the Maryland Province. Please join us on Georgetown University's campus Tuesday, February 27th at the Healy Family Center and join the conversation. The Healey Family Student Center is on the south side of campus. For directions (walking, driving, cycling), see maps.georgetown.edu.

    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists Have Gained the Upper Hand in Protecting Historic Buildings

    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists have gained the upper hand in protecting historic buildings. Now the ques- tion is whether examples of modern architecture— such as these three buildings —deserve the same respect as the great buildings of the past. By Larry Van Dyne The church at 16th and I streets in downtown DC does not match the usual images of a vi- sually appealing house of worship. It bears no resemblance to the picturesque churches of New England with their white clapboard and soaring steeples. And it has none of the robust stonework and stained-glass windows of a Gothic cathedral. The Third Church of Christ, Scientist, is modern architecture. Octagonal in shape, its walls rise 60 feet in roughcast concrete with only a couple of windows and a cantilevered carillon interrupting the gray façade. Surrounded by an empty plaza, it leaves the impression of a supersized piece of abstract sculpture. The church sits on a prime tract of land just north of the White House. The site is so valua- ble that a Washington-based real-estate company, ICG Properties, which owns an office building next door, has bought the land under the church and an adjacent building originally owned by the Christian Science home church in Boston. It hopes to cut a deal with the local church to tear down its sanctuary and fill the assembled site with a large office complex. The congregation, which consists of only a few dozen members, is eager to make the deal — hoping to occupy a new church inside the complex.

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. The park is located north of and below the mansion and the terraced formal gardens and focuses on a stream valley sometimes called "The Branch" (i.e., of Rock Creek) nearly 100' below the mansion. North of the stream the park rises again in a northerly and westerly direction toward the U.S. Naval Observatory. The primary access to the park is from R Street between the Dumbarton Oaks estate and Montrose Park along a small lane presently called Lovers' Lane. Present Owner; Dumbarton Oaks Park is a Federal park, owned and maintained by the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. Dates of Construction: Dumbarton Oaks estate was acquired by Robert Woods Bliss and Mildred Barnes Bliss in 1920. At their request, Beatrix Jones Farrand, a well- known American landscape architect, agreed to undertake the design and oversee the maintenance of the grounds.

As such, we seek your review and comment on the proposed undertaking. Existing signage within Rock Creek Park and its administered sites is inconsistent with modem standards, having been installed incrementally over the last 20 years. Further, many areas are lacking identification and visitor wayfinding. This plan represents a sign palette or system that can be used and implemented in the future and provides a consistent and unified look. Signs being designed under this project include park identity signs, roadway signs, and trail signs. The proposed system is based on a modem Uni Guide system and standards, and is being developed by Hunt Designs, which developed the sign system for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Please find enclosed the final sign plan and renderings for your review. Please note, the signs will not all be replaced at once. Instead, replacement and installation of new signs will occur in phases when funding is available, or when an existing sign is at the end of its useable life.
  • A History of Land, Labor and People of the Dumbarton Oaks Estate Until

    A History of Land, Labor and People of the Dumbarton Oaks Estate Until

    A History of the Land, Labor, and People of the Dumbarton Oaks Estate Until 1920 Cassandra Luca A.B. Candidate in English, Harvard College Class of 2021 Summer Intern June-August 2019 Luca 2 Introduction I would first like to acknowledge that this report was written on occupied lands of the Algonquin Nation. As a settler scholar who does not share the lived experiences of Native and Black communities, I have attempted to capture as accurately as possible the experiences of the Native Americans and enslaved people whose lives are chronicled in the following pages. This work is especially important because early settlers took the land and resources upon which Native Americans had relied for generations, and because the enslaved people who lived here continue to remain nameless despite their presence and livelihood on this land. This report is a review of previously-known sources of information concerning the history of the Dumbarton Oaks estate, incorporating newly-found documents which aim to present a more complete picture of the individuals on the property throughout its history. Rather than explicitly answering some questions concerning the labor or agricultural production of the estate, many of the new details provide a larger context through which to better understand the owners. This report is organized chronologically by owner, followed by a discussion section addressing the questions arising from the information presented. Before Ninian Beall’s Arrival Native Americans were part of the landscape in and around the property that is now Dumbarton Oaks for about 13,000 years, long before the arrival of British colonizers.

    Invasive Species in the Historic Dumbarton Oaks Garden

    Invasive Species in the Historic Garden: A Field Guide to Dumbarton Oaks Dumbarton Oaks Internship Report Joan Chen Summer intern ‘18, Garden & Landscape Studies Master of Landscape Architecture ‘19, Harvard GSD August 3, 2018 This report provides a brief overview of Beatrix Farrand’s use of plant species that are currently considered “invasive” and outlines management strategies. Farrand’s Plant Book for Dumbarton Oaks, written in 1941 and published by Dumbarton Oaks in 1980, is the main text referenced by this report. The Garden Archives at Dumbarton Oaks, as well as conversations with gardeners, also shaped this study. Two case studies explore how invasive species management might be approached in a historic garden. A spreadsheet with each mention of an invasive plant in Farrand’s Plant Book and its associated management strategies is included in the Appendix, providing a working document for Garden and Grounds staff. The Appendix also contains a brief reading list with titles on garden history, the native/non-native/invasive plant debate, and various plant lists and technical references, as well as a printable pamphlet with information on the six most used invasive plants at Dumbarton Oaks. Overview When Beatrix Farrand described plant growth as invasive, the term “invasive species” had not yet come into use. Her 1941 plant book includes two uses of the word “invasive” while describing maintenance of fast-spreading plants: At the little porter’s lodge, Ivy and Wisteria are used on the building itself, but here again they must not be allowed to become so invasive that the lodge is turned into a green mound.
