Title A name given to the resource Smithsonian grounds neglected Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Smithsonian Institution Archives. <a href="http://siris-sihistory.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&amp;profile=all&amp;source=~!sichronology&amp;uri=full=3100001~!38~!0#focus">View original.</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource August 18, 1856 Description An account of the resource In his annual report for the year 1856, Secretary of the Smithsonian <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/349">Joseph Henry</a> complained that Congress had not provided money in the Smithsonian's budget to maintain the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/52">Institution</a>'s grounds. As a result, he said that the area around the building looked neglected. This photograph accompanying the report showed the state of the grounds. Although the grass and plants were not overgrown, the area lacked a landscape design appropriate for a national institution. By 1858, a small amount finally was allocated to care for the Smithsonian grounds, even if it was not enough to implement a new design.
