(Roman McAllen, Historic Preservation Officer) APPLICANT: Texas Historical Commission BACKGROUND: As part of an effort to nominate all properties associated with the 1936 Texas Centennial (celebrating Texas’ independence from Mexico), the Texas Historical Commission has nominated the Pioneer Woman Monument for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The item will be considered on January 20th by the State Board of Review. This board advises the State Historic Preservation Officer regarding nominations to the National Register. That review is required by federal law and provides an opportunity for public comment. As part of the Certified Local Government Program the City of Denton is required to have its landmark commission provide an opinion as to the listing. CONSIDERATIONS: The nomination form, included in the attachments to this report, contains a thorough and interesting history about how this monument came into existence and why it is in Denton, Texas. The first sentence of the Statement of Significance on the Nomination Form (Pg. 8) states: “Dedicated in 1938, the Pioneer Woman monument on the campus of Texas State College for Woman (now Texas Woman’s University) of Denton, Texas was the only major Texas Centennial monument that recognized the historical contributions of Texas woman.” The monument was designed by an esteemed sculptor whose work also exists in Washington D.C. and New York City at Rockefeller Center. OPTIONS: 1. Vote to support the nomination 2. Vote not to support the nomination 3. Take no action RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Landmark Commission voice support for this nomination by voting favorably for a motion in support of the nomination.

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.

And although it was a cold windy and very wet, day, we all left the comfort of our warm bus to walk over to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to watch the changing of the guard.

He marches back 21 steps and faces east for 21 seconds and south for 21 seconds. The guards are all members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry known as the “Old Guard” which has served this nation since 1784.

  • Lincoln Memorial National Mall and Memorial Parks
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Lincoln Memorial National Mall and Memorial Parks How many people visit the Lincoln Memorial each year? Approximately 7.9 million people visit the Lincoln Memorial annually, making it the fourth most visited site in the national park system. What is the history of the Lincoln Memorial? The Lincoln Memorial stands at the west end of the National Mall as a neoclassical monument to our nation’s 16th president. A commission to plan a monument was first proposed in 1867, shortly after Lincoln's death. The design for that plan called for six equestrian and 31 pedestrian statues of colossal size, with a 12-foot statue of Lincoln in the center, but that project was never started for lack of funds. Construction began in 1914, and the memorial was opened to the public in 1922. Lying between the north and south chambers is the central hall containing the solitary figure of Lincoln sitting in contemplation. The statue was carved in four years by the Piccirilli brothers under the supervision of sculptor Daniel Chester French. The statue of Lincoln is 19 feet high and weighs 175 tons. The original plan was for the statue to be only 10 feet high, but this was changed so that the figure of Lincoln would not be dwarfed by the size of the chamber. Marian Anderson gave her Easter morning concert here in 1939 after having been denied the use of Constitution Hall because of her race, and Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech from the steps of the memorial in 1963.
