Notes
  • Significance: Located between 15th, 16th W, and Euclid Streets, NW is one of the most distinguished examples of Landscape design in Washington. The Hilly Terrain of the Twelve Acre Site and the beaux-arts training of the designers produced a design that is an elaborate architectural composition as well as a landscaped park. Among the major features are the mall, the Italianate cascade, the Great Terrace and the monument to President Buchanan. The architectural elements are constructed with exposed pebble concrete, and represent some of the earliest uses of this material in the United States.
