Title A name given to the resource Andrew Jackson Downing creates a landscape plan for the Mall Description An account of the resource In 1850 President Millard Fillmore asked <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/84">Andrew Jackson Downing</a>, the nation's preeminent landscape gardener and advocate of a rural American style, to design the landscaping for the largely undeveloped National Mall and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/178">Smithsonian grounds</a>. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/356">Downing’s plan</a> departed from the classic design originally planned for the Mall. A champion of public parks, Downing created a plan which connected four different, but compatible, garden spaces extending from the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">Capitol</a> to the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36">Washington Monument</a> and using flora and fauna indigenous to the US, created a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/261">public museum of living trees and shrubs</a>. Congress failed to allocate funds, however, and Downing’s plan never materialized.
