Excerpt from Cultural Landscape Report: Independence Mall Although Independence Mall was only recently completed, an understanding of the decisions concerning its development is beginning to slip beyond living memory and the grasp of all who must currently guide the mall's future. In 1993 and 1994 a new general management plan is being prepared for the park. This cultural landscape report, which examines the history, intent, function, and significance of one part of the park Independence Mall has been written to support the general management plan. This report was undertaken to determine the national register eligibility of Independence Mall, and its primary purpose is to provide park personnel and planners with the information needed to make decisions about the future of the mall. To support this, a historic record has been assembled, and important concepts, designs, and features of the built landscape of the mall have been identified and evaluated. To understand the mall, it is important to make a distinction between the unquestioned significance and symbolism of the park as a whole and the mall as an individual place. Americans understand the meaning of Independence National Historical Park, and as visitors they learn about the role of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. The three-block mall, a twentieth century creation, was not part of the history of the Revolution and the formation of the new nation, and it is therefore necessary to evaluate it on its own merit as a designed landscape.
