Sometimes known as "tree doctors," the arborists care for the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/24">cherry trees along the Tidal Basin</a>, which have been a fixture on the Mall since 1912. Without their hard work, the centerpieces of the annual <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/480">Cherry Blossom Festival </a>might not exist. The Mall’s trees are beautiful, but they also serve another important function: removing air and water pollutants from the city and Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Description An account of the resource In 1978, the National Museum of Natural History hosted "Treasures of Mexico: From the Mexican National Museum" that featured this large stone Olmec head. The Olmecs lived in south-central Mexico from approximately 1400 BC to 400 BC and are considered Mexico's earliest prominent civilization. The head weighed 5 tons and required a special steel-frame platform to display it safely inside the museum. In this photograph, riggers are unloading the head at the Mall entrance of the Museum.

By 1840, he was living near Washington, DC, with his owner, Clark Mills. Reid worked in Mills's foundary during that time. Although his name is spelled Reid in documents from when he was a slave, Philip used the spelling Reed as a freedman. By 1865, Reed worked as a plasterer in Washington and later married. He was buried in Graceland Cemetery, but disinterred twice with the other occupants of that cemetery, as the city expanded. His remains are now housed at National Harmony Memory Park, where there is memorial plaque in his honor.

Title A name given to the resource Philip Reed Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Architect of the Capitol. <a href="http://www.aoc.gov/philip-reid-and-statue-freedom">View original document</a>. Description An account of the resource Philip Reed was an enslaved man who worked in the foundry operated by his owner, <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/459">Clark Mills</a>. The foundry cast the statues of <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/412">Andrew Jackson</a> in Lafayette Square and the statue of "<a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/534">Freedom</a>" which tops the Capitol dome. The plaster cast for "Freedom" was designed in Italy by artist Thomas Crawford, and shipped to the Capitol. When time came to move the plaster model to the Mills foundry to finish the sculpture, Reed cleverly devised a way to safely separate the five pieces for transportation. As an eslaved person, Reed could receive pay directly for work he did on Sundays. Records show he worked 33 Sundays in 1860-61 on "Freedom."
