              <text>The Constitution Gardens were dedicated in May 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial and were declared a living legacy to the US Constitution by President Ronald Reagan in September 1986. During World War I, the US government built &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/331"&gt;temporary offices&lt;/a&gt; on this site. Those buildings remained until the early 1970s when President Nixon &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/271"&gt;ordered their removal&lt;/a&gt; and replacement by a park. On a small island in the middle of the lake lies a memorial to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, dedicated in 1984.</text>
