Cultural Landscape Report Independence Mall, Independence National Historical Park, Philadephia, PA

摘要

In 1993 and 1994 a new general management plan is being prepared for the park. This cultural landscape report, which examines the history, intent, function, and significance of one part of the park - Independence Mall - has been written to support the general management plan. This report was undertaken to determine the national register eligibility of Independence Mall, and its primary purpose is to provide park personnel and planners with the information needed to make decisions about the future of the mall. To support this, a historic record has been assembled, and important concepts, designs, and features of the built landscape of the mall have been identified and evaluated.
