Title
A name given to the resource
Flood of 1889
Description
An account of the resource
On June 2, 1889, heavy rains caused massive flooding in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and overwhelmed the South Fork Dam. The storm also hit the Washington, DC, area. As a result, <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/259">the Potomac River flooded and areas around Pennsylvania Avenue were under several feet of water</a>. The flooding was made worse by sewers that became clogged with dirt from unpaved roads and began overflowing, causing the water to rise. The only access between the east and west of the city was by boat.

Washington Monument repair and theft of lightning rod points
Description
An account of the resource
During the fall and winter months of 1934, the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36">Washington Monument</a> was prepped for repairs and cleaning, due to cracking at the base. Scaffolding was built around the 550-foot monument to allow the workers to make the repairs with Public Works Administration funding. The restoration lasted 140 days, during which time the Monument remained open to visitors. However, on December 28th, 1934, someone scaled the scaffolding to remove 107 of the 170 gold-plated, platinum-tipped lightning rod points from the top of the monument. The points were valued at $8 each, which totaled $856.

Title

Reflecting Pool reconstructed
Description
An account of the resource
Restoration of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/23">Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool</a> began in November 2010. The two-year, $30.7 million renovation project almost completely rebuilt the structure. The 1923 original pool was built on an unstable foundation that sank and cracked. The overhauled pool is shallower, reinforced with over 2,000 pilings driven to the underlying bedrock, and a gray tint was added to increase the pool’s reflectivity. The water supply system was replaced, and instead of stagnant water, the supply is now circulated from the nearby <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/430">Tidal Basin</a>. Gravel sidewalks bordering the pool were also replaced with pavement to prevent erosion.

This view down Pennsylvania Avenue NW from the corner of 6th Street shows part of Washington near the Mall around 1860. On the corner in the foreground, where the Newseum is today, stood the National Hotel, one of the most prominent hotels in the city. It also housed a telegraph office, advertising "<a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/176">Morse's Great Northern & Southern United Lines</a>" with direct communication to to New York and New Orleans. Businesses line the north (left) side of the street, and to the south was one block of commercial and residential buildings which stood where the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/427">National Gallery of Art</a> is today.
