[edit]Description1880 Olmsted proposal for the Emerald Necklace.jpg |
English: Suggestion for the improvement of Muddy River and for completing a continuous promenade from the Common to Jamaica Pond: Olmsted's 1880 proposal for what would become the Emerald Necklace. Comment from the source: "The simple schematic plan shown here was Olmsted’s preliminary design for improving the waterway. In it, he sculpted the erratic river into a gently meandering stream, and transformed the swamp south of Tremont Street into a large pond. Olmsted would later alter this plan, going so far as to reroute the river and shift the Boston-Brookline border; this change was legally adopted in 1890." |
