Located on the Maryland Avenue Monumental Corridor,this site is within an existing development known as thePortals. This mixed use development surrounds a newlycreated prominent public space within an elevated court.The plaza's raised elevation offers vistas to the U.S.Capitol and the Potomac River along the extension of theMaryland Avenue alignment. This location is defined primarily by site circulation elements that result in a circularpublic space. The site is two blocks from the Mall and theSmithsonian Metro Station. It overlooks the northern endof the Washington Channel and the Tidal Basin.

A potential commemorative feature in this locationcould be placed within the existing and planned publicspaces that are defined by the Portals' centralentrance and circulation features. Considerationsinclude the development guidelines that have beenestablished for this large mixed use development. Amajor portion of the Portals project has yet to be completed. Coordination with the property owner andthese ongoing development efforts is necessary inorder to provide a suitable context for a future memorial. Depending on the established setting, a memorial could be a small pedestrian-oriented feature or asignificant element of the public space.

These existing public spaces provide similar passive recreational and interpretive opportunities for residents, employees, and tourists. Their triangular parcels are presentlydefined by open landscaped spaces that contrast withnearby higher density office and commercial uses. Theirlocation within the highly visible Pennsylvania Avenue corridor makes these parks appropriate for future memorials.Existing conditions include landscaped terraces with seating and generally level terrain. These parcels representnodes within this prominent corridor from the White Houseto Washington Circle. 

Several opportunities exist to incorporate future commemorative features within these public parks. New memorialswithin these parcels could include both understated elements that would maintain present conditions or dramaticfeatures that would reshape the character of these sites.This range of potential commemorative actions is possibledue to the relative absence of highly visible memorialswithin this section of Pennsylvania Avenue. This corridorwould benefit from greater definition of these existing public spaces. Any memorial planned for Monroe or MorrowParks should contain ancillary interpretive media on thelives of these historic figures.

Located along "Embassy Row," this small triangular parcelpresently includes limited landscaping and seating elements. Its location is within a complex intersection that iscreated by Massachusetts Avenue, Florida Avenue, Q and22nd Streets. Adjoining conditions include establishedembassy, residential, and institutional uses that create asignificant urban design setting. A mix of architecturalstyles and building types establish this intersection as ahighly interesting and visible node within theMassachusetts Avenue corridor. Views from the siteinclude both Dupont and Sheridan Circles.

Potential commemorative opportunities for this parcelare limited by its size and configuration. However, thelocation affords views of Embassy Row buildings andis heavily trafficked by car and foot. The presenthedge and bench features would have to be removedto take full advantage of the site's landscape designpotential. Future memorial design elements for thisparcel could include a small sculpture, plaque, orlandscape treatment.

This highly prominent triangular park faces the NationalGallery of Art East Wing and the U.S. Court House. Itoffers striking views of the Capitol and its location onPennsylvania Avenue gives the site a high degree of visibility and urban design significance. Existing conditionsare generally level, with established trees and landscapeelements. The physical presence of the U.S. Capitol andthe Pennsylvania Avenue Monumental Corridor greatlyinfluence the site. Adjoining landscape elements generallyoffer open conditions that reinforce the dramatic visualimpact of the Capitol and its extensive grounds. Thesevisual connections to the Capitol provide design opportunities for physical improvements to the site. Potential sitedevelopment is constrained by existing utilities.

Since this parcel is within the Pennsylvania Avenue rightof-way and provides outstanding views of the U.S. Capitol,it offers both symbolic and ceremonial amenities of thehighest order. Future commemorative use of the site mustmaintain the existing vista along the Avenue to the Capitol.Another important consideration is the prominent MeadeMemorial at the Prettyman Court House. Nevertheless, thesite could incorporate an understated landscape featurewith design elements that provide commemoration andinterpretation opportunity while enhancing the linkagesthat characterize the historic corridor.

Located at the northern entrance to the District's Ten MileSquare, this site offers a symbolic gateway setting along16th Street as it enters the city east of Rock Creek Park onaxis with the White House. The site is characterized bytopographic and open space features that reinforce thisceremonial gateway into the District. A mixture of woodedbuffers, open lawns and residential uses border this modest traffic circle and establish an understated parklike character for this important gateway into the city. Adjoining residential uses are set back from the 16th Street right-of-way,providing a parkway-like setting in the vicinity of the circle.

A future commemorative feature could be incorporated within the existing landscaped traffic circle. Whilethe present parklike setting is appropriate, a morecompelling treatment of this entrance to the city couldbe provided by locating a memorial at this importantgateway. The established traffic pattern may need tobe reconsidered for improved service and safety. Inplanning for the future design of this circle, consideration should be given to potential small or mediumcommemorative elements that could enhance thisMonumental Corridor, while maintaining the openspace character of Rock Creek Park and protectingexisting nearby residential uses.

It is comprised of gradually sloping brick walkways and landscape features thatprovide a visual extension of the C&O Canal NationalHistoric Park. This site is relatively narrow and occupiesapproximately one acre between the entrance to theWhitehurst Freeway and the Key Bridge. Its location is atthe symbolic entrance to Georgetown and is furtherdefined by nearby prominent architectural features, including the former Trolley Car Barn. The former Francis ScottKey House was previously located on this site prior to theconstruction of the Whitehurst Freeway.

Occupying one of two prominent parcels on the northernlimits of the Key Bridge, this site offers an opportunity foran understated memorial feature that would be compatiblewith the theme of the Francis Scott Key Park. A futurememorial on this site should incorporate interpretive references to the former Francis Scott Key House. Located atan important river crossing portal, this site affords anexcellent setting for a contemplative feature that wouldcomplement historic Georgetown and the C&O CanalNational Historic Park.

Occupying a prominent open lawn area within GloverArchbold Park on the east side of Massachusetts Avenue,this site represents a unique setting within the corridor.Located within an established residential neighborhood ofmixed densities, this site represents a significant openarea that is defined by its heavily wooded margins. Thesite is located approximately at a midpoint between theWisconsin and Nebraska Avenue corridors and its prominence is heightened by the gradually rolling terrain thatcharacterizes the alignment of Massachusetts Avenue.Views to Ward Circle and the National Cathedral areafforded from this vantage point.

Potential opportunities for a small or medium sizedmemorial at this location are significant. A commemorative element would be highly visible on this existingopen lawn setting within the prominent MassachusettsAvenue corridor. The wooded setting would provide avisual buffer between the memorial and adjoiningparkland. Potential commemorative elements considered for this site would also benefit from the elevationchanges that occur along Massachusetts Avenue inthis vicinity. The site is in a generally level area thatprecedes the approach to Ward Circle.

Located within a vibrant neighborhood setting, this locationis comprised of several small landscaped parcels that areassociated with the Tenley Circle intersection. Adjoininguses include established residential, institutional, andcommercial uses within walking distance of the TenleyCircle Metro station. Parcel sizes vary with most representing less that one acre. Two parcels in particular flankWisconsin Avenue at the circle and contain bus sheltersand landscape improvements. These parcels representthe most visible landscape elements at this complex intersection.

Opportunities for locating small memorial features withinthis area vary considerably due to the physical characteristics of each parcel. While the total land area associatedwith this location is significant, the central parcels onWisconsin Avenue are small in size and are occupied byexisting transit uses (bus stops). Several of the out parcelscontain lawn areas that could be suitable for commemorative features. The character of established adjoining residential uses and the open landscape should be consideredin any future memorial for this site.

This location features a linear open space that is associated with Rock Creek Park and the Potomac River. This siteoffers striking views of the Georgetown waterfront,Roosevelt Island, and Potomac River. The outdoor terraceof the Kennedy Center is cantilevered over the alignmentof Rock Creek Parkway in this area. Proposals to link thePotomac River and Rock Creek Park with the KennedyCenter terrace have been considered. This linkage wouldbe made through the construction of a new monumentalstairway system that would be built over Rock CreekParkway and have its base at the Potomac River seawall.

Considering existing and potential improvements tothis prominent public space, there are several opportunities to incorporate a future commemorative featurewithin the site. This stretch of the pedestrian riverfrontwalkway could be reconfigured to include a small ormedium sized memorial within the existing landscapeconditions. Should plans proceed to construct a newmonumental stairway from the Kennedy Center terrace to the waterfront, there would be an opportunityto incorporate commemorative elements of a largersize or scale on the new stairway.

Located within a prominent new waterfront park, this siteoffers an established public space setting with exceptionalviews of the Potomac River and good pedestrian access.The existing features include large lawn areas with undulating terrain, pedestrian circulation, and landscape plantings. Adjoining land uses along K Street include commercial office, residential, and retail. Expansion of existingpark areas associated with the site is planned to extendthe landscaped waterfront areas to Key Bridge. This extension would provide a continuous waterfront park from theGeorgetown waterfront area to the Washington Channel.

Potential opportunities for new memorial featuresinclude a new element within Georgetown WaterfrontPark or at the foot of Wisconsin Avenue. The physicaland urban design significance of this site is based onits location at the end of Wisconsin Avenue and on thePotomac River waterfront. The park setting is expected to increase in prominence as river-based tourismand commuter transport systems develop landingareas in the vicinity. The scale of a potential featureshould be relatively small in order to maintain the vistaalong Wisconsin Avenue to the river. Any future element should be in keeping with the approvedGeorgetown Waterfront Plan and not impede plannedpark development.

This location at the western limits of the TheodoreRoosevelt Bridge in Virginia. Several potential site opportunities exist among the open parcels that have been created by the access ramps and circulation elements servingRoutes 50 and I-66. These parcels offer landscape settings that could be associated with Arlington NationalCemetery, the Iwo Jima Memorial, and the GeorgeWashington Memorial Parkway. High density residentialand office uses are located nearby, providing an urbancontrast to this landscape setting. Dramatic monumentalviews can be observed from the vicinity of these parcelslooking toward the Monumental Core.

Opportunities for locating a new memorial in this areaare influenced by existing prominent features, including the Iwo Jima Memorial and Netherlands Carillon.Since the area near Roosevelt Bridge locations ishighway-oriented, with limited parking and pedestrianaccess, a memorial in this area should be of a sizethat could be appreciated from the roads. A futurerealignment of the Roosevelt Bridge on axis withConstitution Avenue, as called for in Legacy, wouldresult in a reconfiguration of existing parcels withinwhich new commemorative opportunities could befound.

Located at a midpoint on Pennsylvania Avenue betweenWashington Circle and Rock Creek, these small parcelsrepresent nodes within this prominent corridor from theWhite House to Georgetown. They offer highly visible sitesthat contain limited landscape features at this time.Adjoining land uses include mixed density residential,commercial, and offices uses. 

These two sites provide opportunities for future smallscale commemorative features that could furtherdefine this sequence of public spaces alongPennsylvania Avenue. This portion of the corridor tothe west of Washington Circle would benefit fromgreater definition of these existing public spaces.

This location on New York and New Jersey Avenues is anexisting small triangular park with views of the U.S.Capitol. The recently renovated park provides an openlandscaped amenity for the residential properties nearNew Jersey Avenue and 3rd Streets, NW. This small landscape node on New York Avenue, is one of several smallpublic spaces along New York Avenue from FloridaAvenue to Mount Vernon Square. The site is associatedwith the entrance to southbound I-395 and mixed landuses. While visible from New York Avenue, the site hasgreater frontage on New Jersey Avenue and 3rd Street.

The existing landscape setting provided by this small parkprovides an opportunity for an understated memorial feature that could complement the site's neighborhood andMonumental Corridor context. Located within the prominent New York Avenue corridor, the site also offers goodvisibility from the New Jersey Avenue and 3rd Street, NWresidential settings. The size of this park limits a potentialcommemoration to a small sculpture, plaque or landscapecommemorative feature.

Located within Anacostia Park between the parallel spansof the MLK and Welsh Memorial Bridges, this site represents a large and prominent landscape area on the waterfront. Existing conditions include a rolling open meadowarea with tree clusters. With access from within AnacostiaPark, this significant parcel is highly visible from eachbridge and the Anacostia Freeway. Within the WaterfrontCrescent, this site represents a significant public park areaframed by existing roads and bridges.

Situated directly on the Anacostia waterfront, this locationoffers the potential for a significant commemorative feature. Visibility of the site from adjoining roads and parksprovides an excellent opportunity for a major memorial thatcould be placed between the existing bridge spans. Inaddition, a similar site on the north shore offers a uniqueopportunity to design a memorial that could incorporateboth sites. These commemorative opportunities could provide space for large memorial features that would complement the dual spans of the bridges and the river crossingportal of which they are a part.

Located on a vacant former hotel parcel on Old JeffersonDavis Highway near the 14th Street Bridge, this 12-acresite represents one of several light industrial parcels associated with the adjoining Potomac River bridge complex.This area is a unique Monumental Corridor and WaterfrontCrescent site with views to the Pentagon and the U.S.Capitol. It represents one of the most frequently travelledbridge crossings in Washington. Proposals to consolidatethe Potomac River highway and rail bridges in the futurecould reshape the site, improving the visibility of this location. The site's location within the Reagan National Airportflight path represents an important consideration.

Located near the principal highway entrance intoWashington, this site could be an important and highly visible setting for a new museum and/or memorial.Future improvements to the Potomac River bridgescould offer a unique interpretive setting for a majornew memorial. As transportation plans for the bridgecrossings emerge and as the parklands associatedwith these roads and bridges are redefined, futurememorial opportunities could be incorporated.

This minor traffic circle on New York Avenue representsthe first opportunity to create a defined civic space withinthe corridor approaching the L'Enfant City from Maryland.This space is presently defined by several fragmentedlandscaped parcels that comprise the traffic circle.Adjoining commercial and light industrial uses in mixedstates of repair characterize the area. Any revitalization ofthe New York Avenue corridor should consider this locationwithin the context of adjoining transportation and land useimprovements. New York Avenue represents aMonumental Corridor within the master plan and offerspotential prominence and visibility beyond that whichexists today.

Considering the visibility of the New York Avenue corridor,a future memorial site at this location could reinforce thecorridor and further define the public spaces and arrivalsequence into the L'Enfant City. This location offers anopportunity to incorporate a memorial within the context ofa revitalized New York Avenue corridor. Redefinition of thisintersection could establish an important new visualamenity that would advance the image and vitality of theapproach. Existing parcels provide opportunities for asmall scale feature, while a reconfiguration of the trafficpattern here could offer a larger and more prominent public space within which to commemorate a person or event.

Located on the eastern shore of the Anacostia River at theSousa Bridge, this site offers a prominent waterfront parkland setting near the Anacostia Pavilion. The site is framedby the Pennsylvania Avenue and I-295 interchange atAnacostia Park. Large open meadow areas within the parkoffer good visibility from nearby roads, bridges, and thewaterfront. This site is located east of the Barney Circlearea where recent plans have proposed changes to circulation patterns and new urban design features.Representing the Monumental Corridor and WaterfrontCrescent framework elements, this site and its companionlocation across the river should be considered in tandemas important river crossing portals.

Several opportunities exist at this location to enhancethe Sousa Bridge river crossing portal with commemorative elements. The large parkland areas and waterfront context of the bridge provides a setting appropriate for a significant memorial. A commemorative feature could further define or frame the existing bridge.It is possible that a new bridge could also incorporatememorial elements. With plans suggested to providea memorial across the bridge at Barney Circle, carefulconsideration must be given to the design of futureelements in order to maintain an appropriatesequence of visual elements within the PennsylvaniaAvenue monumental corridor.

Potential locations within the Washington Navy Yard arecharacterized by waterfront settings in association withexisting historic industrial structures. The primary landuses in the Navy Yard include mixed density governmentoffice and support facilities. Views from the site across theAnacostia River include parkland and waterfront settingsas well as National Park Service office and operationsbuildings in Anacostia Park. Navy Yard piers and otherwaterfront amenities provide visual interest and interpretive potential. While public access to the Navy Yard isrestricted, future access to the waterfront at this locationmay become possible as the Southeast Federal Center isredefined as a major mixed use waterfront campus withwater taxi service.

Opportunities for new memorials and museums at thislocation are excellent. Historic military and industrial useswithin the Navy Yard combined with the distinctiveAnacostia waterfront setting provide a range of locationsthat could serve as commemorative sites. New memorialsor museums within the Navy Yard could support and reinforce future uses of the base, while advancing the comprehensive redefinition of the Anacostia waterfront.Considering the extent and scale of public spaces withinthe Navy Yard, a variety of small or medium sized memorial features and museum facilities could be introducedfocusing on subjects of importance to naval history.

Thesesites feature open lawn areas with existing trees that provide shade for visitors walking along the seawall pathway.Adjoining uses include prominent memorials, recreationalfacilities, and open space. These sites offer the potentialfor a range of linear shoreline interpretive experienceswithin East and West Potomac Parks. 

A potential commemorative feature within the site wouldhave excellent riverfront views while offering close proximity to other memorials including the Lincoln, FDR, MLK,Korean, and Vietnam Veterans Memorials. Considerationof a site for a future memorial feature in this location mustinclude its relationship with other nearby memorials.

Situated at the terminus of Maryland Avenue at theNational Arboretum, this location represents a neighborhood setting with the potential for greater prominence. Theterrain of Maryland Avenue to the west offers direct viewsto the U.S. Capitol, representing an important planningcontext for improving adjoining areas. The site is presently used as a public vegetable garden within a mixed-density residential setting. The location is near a formerentrance to the National Arboretum as well. In conjunctionwith Site 21 and the National Arboretum, this locationcould become a defined terminus of the Maryland AvenueMonumental Corridor. 

Redefining this existing parkland and community settingoffers significant promise for incorporating national commemorative features. Comprised of important parklandareas, this location is within the context of the NationalArboretum, the Langston Golf Course, and the MarylandAvenue Monumental Corridor. These conditions provideopportunities to create an important public space at the terminus of Maryland Avenue and at a possible reopenedentrance to the National Arboretum. Based on the amountof open land areas associated with the location, opportunities exist for a future memorial of major proportions and amoderately scaled element, each of which would occupy aprominent position in a reconfigured public space.

Associated with an established neighborhood within theGeorgia Avenue corridor, this location faces a MetrorailStation and Metrobus transfer area. The location ispresently a focus of revitalization efforts by the District andmixed-use redevelopment within the vicinity is underway.The District of Columbia intends to relocate theDepartment of Motor Vehicle Services to offices nearby.The location is presently vacant with high visibility from theGeorgia Avenue corridor and the transit center area.Adjoining the Metrorail station grounds, this site is in closeproximity to community facilities and will become a prominent element of the emerging neighborhood center.

Revitalization of this neighborhood center will presentseveral opportunities for a new memorial. The siteunder consideration will become an established part ofthe community, thus any commemorative element atthis location would be highly visible and accessible.Considering the neighborhood context and proportions of this site, a small-scale memorial feature wouldbe appropriate here. As plans proceed to redevelopthis centerpiece parcel within the Petworth neighborhood, consideration should be given to incorporating afuture commemorative element within any new development proposed for the site.

This location is at the intersection of three Special Streetswithin the prominent Massachusetts Avenue, SE, corridor.Situated at a midpoint between Lincoln Park and the terminus of Massachusetts Avenue, this location includesseveral small triangular parcels that are formed by theroadway system. The visual character of this location isdefined by treelined streets, residences, and small-scalecommercial uses. A redefinition of this intersection in conjunction with other improvements within the corridor couldprovide a new level of visibility for Massachusetts Avenueand its potential extension to the Anacostia River throughthe D.C. General Hospital site. 

This neighborhood node provides an appropriate context for a future commemorative element of limitedsize and scale. Within the several small parcels associated with this location, a new memorial couldimprove the existing community imagery, while providing new visibility for this residential area. Redefiningthe intersection through the addition of a new memorial could advance the visual character and prominence of the Massachusetts Avenue, SE corridor andprovide the impetus for extending the avenue beyondits present terminus, restoring a historic linkage withthe Anacostia River.

This location is characterized by transitional office andindustrial uses within the SE Federal Center, where revitalization and waterfront development is in progress. Thealignment of New Jersey Avenue, with views to the U.S.Capitol, extends to the SEFC. Potential linkages are possible to the Anacostia River waterfront. This MonumentalCorridor and Special Street setting provides potentially significant public spaces around which a future mixed usecampus could evolve. Master planning for the SE FederalCenter includes significant redefinition of the waterfrontareas with potential for water taxi service. The Navy YardMetrorail station serves this site.

Several opportunities for incorporating a new memorial or museum within the SEFC exist. A public spacecould be established within the SEFC to accommodate a future memorial. With significant buildable areaat the SEFC and with existing structures suited to revitalization, several sites could serve as potential settings for a future museum as well. The SEFC is situated within the Waterfront Crescent and provides significant opportunities for a variety of riverfront interpretative commemorative elements with convenientaccessibility by an existing Metrorail station and futurewater taxi service on the Anacostia River.

This prominent landscaped traffic circle at the northwestern limits of the District represents an established publicspace and an important physical node on Massachusettsand Western Avenues. The location is characterized byadjoining residential, institutional, and parkland uses thatare set within the context of tree-lined streets and gradually rolling terrain. The site is comprised of an open lawnarea within the traffic circle. Established trees define theperimeter of the circle that occupies approximately twoacres other than a D.C. boundary marker. No other elements are contained within the circle, however a church islocated at the site's northwestern limits. This architecturalelement contributes to the pastoral quality of the site.

An established landscape feature that marks the entranceto the District from Maryland on Massachusetts Avenue,this prominent traffic circle offers an important opportunityfor a future commemorative feature. Unlike most traffic circles in the Nation's Capital that are presently adorned witha sculptural element of some kind, this circle is completelyopen and well-suited for a future commemorative featurepreferably for a vertical element that would be appreciatedfrom a car. Any consideration of this site should include areview of the adjoining architectural features that define itsperimeter.

The site is located at the intersection of Georgia andEastern Avenues, NW at the District-Maryland boundaries.Significant interest exists within the District andMontgomery County to improve the quality of this gatewayto the city. The Ward 4 Revitalization Task Force has recommended several new development projects at this location that would improve the entrance experience andestablish a retail hub. Limited public land is available in theDistrict at this location. Jessup-Blair Park, which is locatednorth of the District boundary line, has been suggested forrefurbishment.

Facing the established landscape setting of Jessup-BlairPark, this site provides an opportunity for commemorationeither on the grounds of the park on the Maryland side oracross Eastern Avenue on a commercial site in the District.Developing a visitor center or museum at this locationwould provide several opportunities for commemoration atthis symbolic entrance to Washington, D.C. and SilverSpring. The addition of a memorial or museum could support community revitalization efforts while providing additional interpretive features for residents and visitors.

Situated within the New York Avenue corridor, this site islocated just beyond the point on the Avenue where theU.S. Capitol is visible. The elevation change associatedwith Brentwood Park offers a dramatic topographic condition that is unique within the vicinity. This slope and the elevated plateau above it represent a distinctive parkland setting within the corridor. The majority of the park can be bestobserved from Brentwood Parkway. Adjoining commercialand industrial uses include the National Park Service'sBrentwood Maintenance facility and several motels. Railyards are located to the north and the Gallaudet Collegecampus is located south of the site.

Brentwood Park's unique topography and its associationwith the New York Avenue monumental corridor suggestpotentially significant commemorative opportunities at thislocation. While views of the site are confined to the park'ssteep sloping meadow as seen from New York Avenue,site opportunities include a substantial hilltop that could bethe setting for a prominent national memorial or museum.This hillside vantage point is located on some of the highest land elevations in the vicinity. Dramatic views of theCapitol and Washington Monument are available from thisarea. A commemorative element at this location would bea key feature in a redefined future setting.

Site Selection and Approval9 If requested by the sponsor, the Secretary of the Interior or the Administrator of

the General Services Administration (GSA), depending on whose land isinvolved, seeks the advice of NCMC to determine whether the memorial warrants placement in Area 1. Secretary or Administrator, if requested, notifiesCongress of a determination that the subject is of preeminent and lasting historical significance (CWA See. 6(a)) so that Congress can consider passage of legislation authorizing an Area 1 location.

10 Memorial sponsor works with staff of NCMC to identify potential sites and prepare alternative site study and accompanying preliminary environmental analysis.

11 Memorial sponsor submits alternative site study and accompanying preliminary

environmental analysis to NPS or GSA for approval of preferred site. After consultation with NCMC, NPS or GSA approves a preferred site on behalf of theSecretary of the Interior or the Administrator of GSA, depending on whose landis affected.
