NAME AND TITLE: Washington State Historic Preservation Inventory Project ORGANIZATION e.TE Washington State University l Nov. 1974 STREET AND NUMBER: 99163 GWL The inventory of historic places is an attempt to develop a catalog of all properties in the state that demonstrate a contribution to our present by peoples of the past. It is a basic part of the State Historic Preservation Plan that can tell planners, engineers, govern- .ment officia+s and others what features in our cities, towns and rural areas ..t.hey ,should be aware of as they develop new projects. The inventory form is not a substitute for a nomination to the National or State Registers of Historic Places but it will alert the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation staff to potential nominations and their locations; it will enable the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation to more effectively assist you in the preparation of actual nominations. No one knows how many historic sites there are in Washington; that is one of the purposes of the inventory; There are certainly thousands and, consequently, the inventory will be in progress for several years. Eligible properties are those which bear the mark of man: hOllses, commercial buildings, mines, vessels, archaeological sites and the sites of historic events, transportation facilities -- virtually any evident structure, object or site that has played a part in our col- lective heritage. Generally, properties less than 50 years will not be a part of the inventory. Send the completed form to: Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation Washington State Parks P.O. Box 1128 DESCRIPTION: Olympia, Washington 98504 This bronze monument on a stone base standing about thirty feet high, has a soldier, sailor, and marine marching side by side, with a nurse striding behind, and Hinged Victory farther back standing head and shoulders above the others.

The monument is located in a circular driveway about one hundred yards northeast of the capitol dome.

  • David a Lester and the Kinsley Civil War Monument
    Civil War Valor in Concrete by Randall M. Thies emorial Day, 1917: David Lester looked on with pride as the recently completed Civil War monument was unveiled in Hillside Cemetery, a short Mdistance northwest of Kinsley, Kansas. A Union vet- eran and longtime resident of the Kinsley area, Lester had a special reason to be proud of the new monu- ment: he was the artist who had created it. Memorial Day was always a special occasion, but the unveiling of the new monument made this day even more so, attracting a large crowd despite threat- ening weather and bad roads. After beginning the day with a band concert, speeches, and parade in downtown Kinsley, the crowd gathered at the ceme- tery to share in the dedication of its new monument. Uniformed members of the Knights of Pythias served as a ceremonial firing squad, while flower girls in white dresses provided a festive air. Honored as the The Kinsley Civil War monument photographed about the time of its dedication—Memorial Day, 1917. Randall W. Thies is an archeologist and cultural resource specialist with the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka and currently serves as state coor- dinator for the Kansas Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) project. A graduate of Washburn University, he received an M.A. in sociology (anthropology) from Iowa State University in 1979. 164 KANSAS HISTORY David A. Lester and the Kinsley Civil War Monument creator of the monument, David Lester also read the memorial service, as appropriate to his role as com- mander of Kinsley’s Timothy O. Howe Post 241 of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a nationwide Union veterans organization.

  • Sculptor Charles Adrian Pillars
    CHARLES ADRIAN PILLARS (1870-1937), JACKSONVILLE‟S MOST NOTED SCULPTOR By DIANNE CRUM DAWOOD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Dianne Crum Dawood 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to acknowledge my thesis chair, Dr. Melissa Hyde, and committee members, Dr. Eric Segal and Dr. Victoria Rovine, for serving on this project for me. Their suggestions, insightful analysis, encouragement, and confidence in my candidacy for a master‟s in art history were important support. I also enjoyed their friendship and patience during this process. The wordsmithing and editing guidance of Mary McClurkin was a delightful collaboration that culminated in a timely finished paper and a treasured friendship. Assistance from Deanne and Ira in the search of microfilm and microfiche records turned a project of anticipated drudgery into a treasure hunt of exciting finds. I also appreciated the suggestions and continued interest of Dr. Wayne Wood, who assured me that Charles Adrian Pillars‟s story was worthy of serious research that culminated in learning details of his life and career heretofore unknown outside of Pillars‟s family. Interviews with Pillars‟s daughter, Ann Pillars Durham, were engaging time travels recalling her father and his celebrity and the family‟s economic and personal vicissitudes during the Great Depression. She also graciously allowed me to review her personal papers. Wells & Drew, the parent company of which was founded in Jacksonville in 1855, permitted my use of a color image, and The Florida Times-Union granted permission to use some of their photographs in this paper.

In- cluded is the history of the fountain's creation, background on the designer, Lawrence Halprin, an examination of the artistic context in which the fountain was created, comparison with other Halprin fountains in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere in the United States, and recommen- dations for the preservation and restoration of the fountain on the East Capitol Campus. Lawrence Halprin is recognized as one of the outstanding landscape architects of our time. He has created a broad range of fountains, landscapes and urban designs throughout the United Water Garden: Lawrence Halprin and the East Capitol Campus Page 3 States and abroad. He is one of only two land- scape architects to be honored by the President of the United States for "outstanding contribu- tions to the excellence, growth, support and availability of the arts in the United States." Water Garden should be viewed not only as a sculptural element of the State Capitol Campus, but also for its significance within the larger scope of Halprin work within Washington State.
