An account of the resource
The first teahouse in Hains Point, the southernmost tip of East Potomac Park, was a refreshment stand opened in 1920 and run by local Girl Scouts. It was very popular, and in 1922 construction began on a permanent structure with restrooms, which opened in 1924. Both the stand and building served light refreshments to park visitors. In 1925, park authorities transferred operation of the tearoom from the Girl Scouts to the Welfare and Recreation Association of Public Buildings and Grounds. By 1969, business had slowed significantly. The teahouse closed in 1985 and was demolished in 1987.

Plans for a National Sculpture Garden on the Mall began in the 1960s, but it was not until 1991 that jurisdiction for the site was transferred from the National Park Service to the National Gallery. Olin Partnership, headed by Laurie D. Olin, designed the landscape, working with staff from the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/427">National Gallery of Art</a>. The first sculptures for the garden, many of which can still be seen today, were curated by Mark Rosenthal and Marla Prather. The middle of the garden is a fountain in summer and an ice rink in winter. Sculptures include works by American and international artists.

The design of the USHMM is meant to evoke the architecture of Holocaust sites.

In this way the building is itself an exhibit space, connecting to the messages and artifacts within.

Description
An account of the resource
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum serves as a memorial to the thousands of people murdered during the Holocaust, and to teach about the need to prevent genocide worldwide. Suggested by the President’s Commission on the Holocaust in 1979, the act to create the museum was unanimously approved by Congress in 1980. Some citizens objected by questioning why a museum remembering the European Holocaust had a place on the National Mall. During construction, workers buried two cans containing pledges of remembrance by Holocaust survivors in the ground under the Hall of Remembrance. In addition to the permanent exhibition tracing the history of the Holocaust, the museum has special exhibits focusing on specific experiences and modern genocides.

Description
An account of the resource
The ice skating rink at the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/429">National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden</a> is one of the Mall’s most popular winter activity spots. Open from November through March, the ice skating rink in its current form first opened in 1999. The rink was included in the plans for the Sculpture Garden when it was conceived in 1996 because an ice rink had been operating at that site since 1974. Even before the 1970s, ice skating was a popular activity on the Mall, with unofficial skating sites at the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/430">Tidal Basin</a> and the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/23">Reflecting Pool</a> in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
