The Metropolitan Park Commission presents herewith its sixth annual report. At the presentation of its last report the Board was preparing to continue the acquirement of the banks of Charles River, and was engaged in the investigation of avail- able shore frontages and of certain proposed boulevards. Towards the close of its last session the Legislature made an appropriation of $1,000,000 as an addition to the Metropolitan Parks Loan, but further takings were de- layed until the uncertainties of war were clearly passed. Acquirements of land and restrictions have been made or provided for however along Charles River as far as Hemlock Gorge, so that the banks for 19 miles, except where occu- pied by great manufacturing concerns, are in the control either of this Board or of some other public or quasi public body. A noble gift of about 700 acres of woods and beau- tiful intervales south of Blue Hills and almost surroundingr Ponkapog Pond has been accepted under the will of the late ' Henry L. Pierce. A field in Cambridge at the rear of « Elm- wood," bought as a memorial to James Russell Lowell, has been transferred to the care of this Board, one-third of the purchase price having been paid by the Commonwealth and the remaining two-thirds by popular subscription, and will be available if desired as part of a parkway from Charles River to Fresh Pond.

    RECONASSANCE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY Allandale Woods Park Boston (West Roxbury), MA Prepared for Boston Parks and Recreation Department City of Boston Prepared by Joseph Bagley City Archaeologist Boston Landmarks Commission Environment Department City of Boston Introduction Allandale Woods is an 86-acre Urban Wild Park located in the Boston neighborhoods of Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury (figure 1). In the summer of 2014, a walkover survey was conducted covering the entirety of the park with the goal of producing sensitivity maps that will aid the Boston Parks and Recreation in avoiding or mitigating impacts to known or potential archaeological sites within the park in future improvement projects. Brief Park History (The following section is a summary of the work of Richard Heath and Richard Primack, no date, attached to this report as appendix A) No Native American cultural materials have been found within the Allandale Woods. Just east of the property, within the Arnold Arboretum, there are over a dozen Native archaeological sites ranging in age from 7,500-400 years in age in topography that resembles that of the Allandale Woods. The Park began as a small portion of the massive estate of Thomas and Joseph Weld, who arrived in Roxbury in 1632. At this time, the property was used as farmland. After passing through several generations, a portion of the Weld estate was sold to Thomas Williams in 1806 who built a farm with several outbuildings in the southern portion of the park near the present-day Annunciation Church (Figure 2). In 1864, 20 acres in the eastern portion of the current park was sold to Henry Wellington near where Centre and Allandale Streets intersect.

The Metropolitan Park Commission presents herewith its fifth annual report. The principal new work of the past year has been the development of Revere Beach, the preparation of plans for the acquirement of the shores of Charles River from Water- town to Newton Upper Falls and the completion of Mystic Valley Parkway. Construction of the Blue Hills and Mid- dlesex Fells Parkways has been continued, and much study and investigation has been made preliminary to the expendi- ture of the appropriations for parkways made by the Legis- lature of 1897. This work divides itself naturally, and will be considered as usual, according as it has been done under the Park Acts or under the Boulevard Acts. A preliminary commission reported to the Legislature of 1893 a scheme for park and parkway or boulevard work, based chiefly on the accompanying report of its landscape architect, Mr. Charles Eliot. In this report Mr. Eliot described the country about Boston as possessed of unusual wealth of scenery, but ill adapted for indiscriminate crowd- ing by large population, and argued that there was a special necessity for regulating its settlement by excluding popula- tion from certain portions and by reserving other portions for the sake of the scenery or as recreation grounds.

  • 4.0 City of Niagara Falls, New York: Architectural Overview1
    Intensive Level Historic Resources Survey – Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I 4.0 CITY OF NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK: ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW1 This section provides a general context for architectural styles represented in the neighborhood, a detailed narrative of the architectural development, and existing conditions of the neighborhood. Frank R. Kowsky authored the Architectural Overview (Sections 4.1-4.6). The results and recommendations are presented in the last section (Section 4.7) 4.1 City of Niagara Falls: Before 1800 4.1.1 French and English Colonization The modern city of Niagara Falls, New York, occupies land that entered European consciousness in the 1530s with the arrival in the New World of French explorer Jacques Cartier. While Cartier, who discovered the St. Lawrence River and founded the city of Montreal, heard reports about the Falls, but never saw them. In 1608, another French explorer, Samuel de Champlain, published a description of the Cataract, although he himself had apparently not seen it either. Both Champlain and Cartier had based their written accounts of the Falls on the word of Native Americans they had encountered on their travels. French missionaries were the first Europeans to see the Falls and to have contact with the Iroquois, the native peoples who, since the 1650s, controlled the Niagara area.
