Flagstaff Garden
It is very interesting to study its characteristics
Flagstaff Gardens is the oldest park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, first established in 1862. Today it is one of the most visited and widely used parks in the city by residents, nearby office workers and tourists. The gardens are notable for their archaeological, horticultural, historical and social significance to the history of Melbourne.
The gardens are 7.2 hectares (18 acres) of Crown Land bounded by William, La Trobe, King and Dudley streets, managed by the City of Melbourne. On the southeast corner opposite is the entrance to Flagstaff railway station. Diagonally opposite stands the Victorian branch of the Royal Mint, established 7 August 1869. The former Royal Mint building is a well-preserved example of Victorian Gold Rush boom-period classical styled architecture. The facade features paired columns with scrolled capitals and the Royal Mint coat-of-arms
- Fallingwater is a house designed by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and built between 1936-1939 over a waterfall in Pennsylvania.
- The house was commissioned by the Kaufmann family, who owned Kaufmann's Department Store, as a vacation home. Wright's unconventional design placed the home directly over the waterfall, with cantilevered balconies extending over the falls.
- Upon its completion, Fallingwater instantly became famous and was featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1938, capturing the public's imagination with its daring design integrated into the natural surroundings.
The document summarizes the early settlers and founders of Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia, listing their names and providing brief biographies of each, including details about their origins, families, occupations, land holdings, and contributions to the community. The eleven men highlighted were prominent in establishing the village of Hammonds Plains in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. They came from places like Scotland, France, Germany, Ireland, the United States, and England and held various roles as farmers, mill operators, community leaders, and supporters of education and infrastructure development in the area.
The document summarizes land preservation efforts in Concord, Massachusetts. Approximately 35% of the land, or 5,900+ acres of the town's 16,541 acres, has been permanently protected through a combination of federal, state, town-owned, private land trusts and privately owned land subject to conservation restrictions. This includes 637 acres of federal land, 387 acres of state land, and 1,360 acres of town-owned land. Private efforts and partnerships between public and private groups have helped increase land protection since the 1950s. A network of trails, including the Battle Road Trail and the Emerson-Thoreau Amble, connect preserved lands for public use and appreciation of the town's natural beauty and history
Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is a private home built over a waterfall in western Pennsylvania in 1937. It is considered one of Wright's greatest works and is renowned for its integration with the natural surroundings. The home was commissioned by Edgar Kaufmann and built using local stone and reinforced concrete cantilevers projecting from the rock face. Over 150,000 visitors tour the home each year, which has required extensive restoration work to address leaks and structural issues due to its location directly over running water.

The master plan proposes recreational amenities like a performance space, dining areas, habitat restoration, flexible event spaces, observation decks, and footbridges to enhance public access and enjoyment of the riverfront.
Fredrick Law Olmsted was an influential American landscape architect in the 19th century who is considered the founder of landscape architecture in the United States. Some of his most notable works include designing New York's Central Park in 1858 with his partner Calvert Vaux, as well as many urban parks across the United States. Over his career, Olmsted completed over 350 projects. He is renowned for his pastoral and picturesque designs that incorporated natural scenery and encouraged public access to green spaces.
Arlington, Texas has a long history as an entertainment destination, beginning with horse racing at Arlington Downs Racetrack in the 1930s. Today, it is home to major attractions like Six Flags Over Texas, The Ballpark in Arlington, and Cowboys Stadium. Traces of Arlington's entertainment past can still be seen, such as the decorative water trough that is all that remains of the old racetrack, located near Six Flags Drive. Arlington continues to build on its identity as a top spot for fun and leisure activities in the state.
Overton Park in Memphis, Tennessee was established in 1901 when the city purchased 342 acres of forested land from the Lea family. Landscape architect George Kessler designed Overton Park according to the City Beautiful movement's principles of preserving natural spaces. Over the decades, various institutions and facilities were added to the park, including the Memphis Zoo (1906), Brooks Museum of Art (1915), and Overton Park Shell (1936). However, the park was threatened in the 1950s when part of its land was condemned for a highway project, sparking controversy over preservation of the urban green space.

Fort Allen Park: Evolution of a 120-year-old landscape
1. Fort Allen Park
Evolution of a 120-year-old public landscape

2. …this spot, commanding a magnificent sea view…has proved one of the most
popular resorts or our city during the summer months.”
-Commissioners of Cemeteries and Public Grounds, 1894
11. 1876 Bird’s Eye View of Portland
The first acquisition of land by the City on the Promenade came in 1828
The roadway had been constructed around Mount Joy by 1837
Young elm trees stood along the road edge.
12. Walling’s 1851 map showed the Atlantic & St. Lawrence
Railroad skirting the water’s edge at the base of the
Eastern Promenade.
13. The Victoria Warves were
built at the base of Fort Allen
in the 1850s to accommodate
the Great Eastern steam ship.
14. To celebrate the 1860 arrival of Albert, Prince of
Wales to Portland, the City constructed an
elaborate archway and flight of carpeted wooden
steps at Fort Allen.
15. In the 1870s, land at old Fort Allen belonged to the Grand Trunk Railway,
the Deering Heirs, and F. W. Cummings. The Great Eastern wharves
stood at the foot of the fort.
16. City engineer William Goodwin prepared a revaluation atlas
in 1882, and showed property ownership at the old fort. The
Fessendens were relatives of the Deerings.
18. “steps should be taken to secure the
old Fort Allen lot, so called, on the
Eastern Promenade…”
Commissioners of Parks, Cemeteries & Public Grounds, 1890
19. The City purchased land from
Henry Deering, Harry
Fessenden and Francis
Fessenden in 1890
In 1891, Goodwin prepared the
first site plan for Fort Allen Park.
20. The initial improvements made to the new park included the construction of
a rustic shelter or “band stand,” designed by Albert Winslow Cobb and
John Calvin Stevens. William Burrows built the structure at a cost of
$350.00.
21. Initially, the park contained no circulation routes, only a sloping lawn dotted
with boulders
22. Between 1890 and 1896, the City added several other amenities,
including walkways, a loop drive, two overlook terraces, a flagpole, many
benches, and pole lighting. The original earthen fort berms remained.
23. Cobblestone gutters (added in 1894) and plantings of flowering shrubs
(added in 1897) further ornamented the park.
24. Tall elm trees stood along the Eastern Promenade, providing a strong
outer edge to the park. Plantings within were kept low to preserve the
views.
25. The City began to erect wrought iron fencing at the upper and lower
terraces in 1896. Lower terrace fencing appeared in 1896, and upper
terrace fencing followed in 1900. Plans to connect the two terraces via a
set of broad central steps were in the works as early as 1896.
26. Rodman cannons, used in the Civil War, were acquired for the park in
1900. (Note the houses standing along the park’s northern property line)
28. Portland Mayor James Phinney Baxter, elected in 1892, voiced concern about
the extent of private ownership of land along the harbor side of the Promenade.
He began advocating for the purchase of this land for use by the public.
29. By 1904, Baxter had made a deal with the Grand Trunk Railroad to swap
land on the north side of Fort Allen park for land at the terminus of
Commercial Street.
Around the same time, Baxter engaged the Olmsted Brothers, landscape
architects, to prepare a plan for the entire Eastern Promenade.
30. By the first decades of the 20th century, the elms planted in the mid 1800s
along both sides of the Eastern Prom had reached significant height. Two
rows stood along the west side, while one rimmed the east.
31. In 1911, the “Cummings Lot”
was condemned for park
purposes. The addition of the
small parcel along the southern
edge of the park, brought the
total acreage to 4.55.
33. In 1913-1915, the gun from the battleship USS Maine was brought to Fort
Allen Park and mounted in a concrete base. This effort launched a long
tradition of siting memorials within the park landscape.
34. The Grand Army of the Republic placed a memorial bench in the park
in1926. (Note the small-scale beds of flowers and shrubs throughout.) In
1935, the City added the Jacob Cousins memorial to the park.
36. Beginning in the 1930s, the City began to alter the historic design of the
park, widening the roadway and overlook terrace, and replacing the
cobblestone gutter with concrete curb and gutter.
37. In 1962, the mast, bell and navigation shield of the USS Portland was
installed as a memorial at the Park. The Arctic Explorers’ memorial, sited
below the USS Portland, followed, and in 2003 a “temporary” memorial
was created in honor of the 9/11 attacks.
38. In 1968, the Portland House was built on land abutting the south side of
the park. At that time, the park plantings grew in a reverse pattern to what
the City originally intended. Tall evergreens filled the park, while the
outside edge stood barren.
39. A 1984 effort by the City parks department further eroded the historical
integrity of the Fort Allen Park landscape. Crews removed the central and two
perimeter walkways and straightened the loop road, and removed the wrought
iron overlook fencing, replacing it with ornamental steel.
41. A 2004 master plan for the Eastern Promenade began to address the
degradation of the historic landscape at Fort Allen Park. It called for the
restoration of the original plantings, and for the introduction of new
plantings to soften the park edges.
42. The plan recommended replacing the contemporary steel fencing with an
historic replica, modified to meet current building codes.
43. In 2006, a group of citizens concerned about the future of Fort Allen Park
and the Eastern Promenade, formed the Friends of the Eastern
Promenade. One of the group’s first projects was the completion of the
Fort Allen Trail, located in the bed of the Grand Trunk Railway.
