  • Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site Management Plan

    Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site Management Plan

    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior National Mall and Memorial Parks Washington, D.C. Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site Management Plan April 2014 To address planning needs for Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site (NHS), the National Mall and Memorial Parks (NAMA) had previously undertaken the preparation of an environmental assessment, which considered a range of alternatives for managing the NHS and their environmental impacts. In spring 2014 the National Park Service (NPS) determined that NAMA did not need to complete the environmental assessment because only management issues were being addressed and therefore the plan was not a major federal action. As a result, NAMA has prepared this Management Plan for Pennsylvania Avenue NHS, which is based on the “Draft Environmental Assessment.” This Management Plan document includes an introduction, a summary of planning, the context for the management plan (including the relationship of the NPS plan with the 1974 Pennsylvania Avenue Plan prepared by the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, and the site’s purpose and significance), as well as the specific manage- ment actions. Background information about the Pennsylvania Avenue NHS Manage- ment Plan is provided at http://www.nps.gov/nationalmallplan/PennAve.html.

Enjoyed by millions of visitors each year, the National Mall is a primary location for public gatherings such as demonstrations, national celebrations and special events. Although Washington, D.C., is consistently rated a top destination for domestic and international travelers, and the National Mall is one of the most visited national parks in the country, little systematic attempt has been made to document the influence of the National Mall as a motivating factor for visitation to Washington, D.C., separate from the many other attractions and facilities in the metropolitan area. Accordingly, a visitor study was conducted to assess visitor behaviors and the socioeconomic impacts of visitor spending on the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. The study addressed the National Mall as a separate entity from the museums and attractions in the area that are not managed by the National Park Service.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: VISUALIZING AMERICAN

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: VISUALIZING AMERICAN HISTORY AND IDENTITY IN THE ELLEN PHILLIPS SAMUEL MEMORIAL Abby Rebecca Eron, Master of Arts, 2014 Directed By: Professor Renée Ater, Department of Art History and Archaeology In her will, Philadelphia philanthropist Ellen Phillips Samuel designated $500,000 to the Fairmount Park Art Association “for the erection of statuary on the banks of the Schuylkill River … emblematic of the history of America from the time of the earliest settlers to the present.” The initial phase of the resulting sculpture project – the Central Terrace of the Samuel Memorial – should be considered one of the fullest realizations of New Deal sculpture. It in many ways corresponds (conceptually, thematically, and stylistically) with the simultaneously developing art programs of the federal government. Analyzing the Memorial project highlights some of the tensions underlying New Deal public art, such as the difficulties of visualizing American identity and history, as well as the complexities involved in the process of commissioning artwork intended to fulfill certain programmatic purposes while also allowing for a level of individual artists’ creative expression.

The New Deal was one of the great public experiments in American history. Crafted pragmatically by the Roosevelt administration to fight the Great Depression of the 1930s, it helped the country recover from economic disaster and put millions of desperate people back to work. In the long run, it ratcheted up the role of the federal government in business affairs and injected a unprecedented measure of shared responsibility for the welfare of all people. It also marked a dramatic shift in class power over the workings of U.S. democracy. The recent crash of the global economy — now referred to as the Great Recession — has revived interest in the efficacy of Franklin Roosevelt's panoply of experiments in reform and recovery, and renewed debate over what the New Deal actually accomplished.
