Cultural Landscape Report: Independence Square, Volume One, Historical Narrative
This study aims to fill several gaps in the park's documentation of Independence Square. As no historic resource study has ever been programmed, this volume one incorporates as much information as possible on the public use and context of the grounds over the last 300 years. Context specifically focuses on the relationship of Independence and Washington Squares, to determine whether the two squares warrant similar maintenance treatment. (See Volume Two, CLR.) Independence Square's nineteenth and twentieth century landscape design changes are documented in some detail, as is the square's use as a rallying place for a diverse range of ethnic and political groups.
