Book Description

Excerpt from Cultural Landscape Report for the Wayside Unit: Minute Man National Historical Park, Concord, Massachusetts Based on discussions with the park and findings of this report, rehabilitation, with a c. 1904 historic period framework, is the preferred treatment alternative. A comparative analysis of the c. 1904 period plan with existing conditions allowed a determination of the overall integrity of the site and identification of the landscape's historic features. The 1904 date highlights the commemorative activities of the 1904 Hawthorne Centenary celebration held on the property, the fact that much of the character of the landscape in 1904 strongly reflected the influences of the famous authors who had lived there, and the wealth of documentation of the property from tha' time. A comparison of the c. 1904 period plan with the existing conditions plan shows a high level of integrity with respect to the property's location, setting, design, materials, workmanship.
