Notes
  • Significance: The land comprising East and West Potomac Parks was created as a means of disposing of muck dredged to clear shipping channels in the Potomac River. Dedicated as park land around the turn of the century, West Potomac Park now comprises an integral portion of Washington's central ceremonial core and includes some of Washington's most significant landmarks; the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Vietnam Veterans Memorials, Constitution Gardens and cherry-tree-lined Tidal Basin. The Korean War Memorial, now under construction is scheduled for completion.
  • Survey number: HABS DC-693
