Cultural Landscape Report for Armory Square, Springfield Armory National Historic Site, Springfield, Massachusetts

摘要

A Cultural Landscape Report serves the National Park Service as both the primary treatment document for cultural landscapes and as a tool to inform day-to-day management decisions and long-term landscape preservation strategies. National Historic Site is being prepared in support of an upcoming General Management Planning effort, providing information on landscape resources and supporting several of the park's Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals. This work is in response to a general lack of information regarding the historic Armory landscape. This lack of information bears with it the risk of the characteristics and features which convey the property's historic significance. In addition to identifying the characteristics and features that contribute to the property's historic significance, the report will provide documentation to supoort park consultation responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
