The exhibition, which opened in the Peabody Institute’s art gallery May 6, is an interesting one.
Its exhibits show, amongst other things, the growth of the movement for the beautifying of cities. The plans for the development of the city of Washington and the improvements now being put into execution at Cleveland, where the city’s public buildings are being grouped together, are the most prominent examples, but there are many others.
Mr. Burnham’s sketches of plans for the rebuilding of San Francisco, the Schuylkill River embankment improve
ments in Philadelphia and the parkway which is being built from the City Hall to Fairmount Park in that city; the Midway Plaisance waterway plans for Chicago; the plans for the improvement of Croton, New York; the plans for the treatment of Brooklyn Plaza and the Williamsburg Bridge in Greater New York, and the plans for the City Court in St. Louis are also shown. Among the individual public buildings exhibited are perspective sketches of the proposed new National Museum Building for Washington, the stately Connecticut State Library and Supreme Court Building, the sewage dumping station at Washington and a proposed flower market and public baths building in New York.
