PROJECT BACKGROUND

Dorchester Heights is the site of fortifications by the Continental Army that led to the evacuation of Boston by the British Army on March 17,1776. The monument was built in 1901 by the prominent architectural firm of Peabody and Stearns to commemorate the Revolutionary war events.

National Parks of Boston continues to steward Dorchester Heights Monument and looks forward to the next chapter of the Monument’s role in its local community and in helping us reflect on our nation’s founding.

Boston National Historical Park is planning a multimillion-dollar restoration of the Dorchester Heights Monument atop Telegraph Hill in South Boston with funding from the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). This project will restore the 115-foot-tall marble commemorative tower, and it will also replace all hardscapes within the surrounding 5.43-acre grounds around the tower, known as Thomas Park. With https://www.nps.gov/subjects/infrastructure/gaoa.htm completion of this project, the iconic tower and grounds will be safe and accessible for visitors and continue to serve as a landmark within the local community.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the Fall/Winter of ’23 and last approximately 18 months. During this time, the site will be closed to the public, and construction fencing will be erected to protect the area from pedestrian use. This project is for the conceptual design, production, and installation of interpretive construction screening that will help passersby understand the intent and importance of the project and site.

This project produces and installs interpretive screening around the Dorchester Heights monument and grounds during construction. The scrim will provide information to passersby to understand the intent and importance of the project and site.

(6) scrims are to be produced. Approximately 150 linear feet total, located adjacent to each entrance to the site – see “attachment A” for locations. The design will use available imagery and short text to engage and inform pedestrians, and the community, by covering the following themes:
