The 16th Street Retaining Wall
Photographer: Allen C. Browne
Taken: March 2, 2013
Caption: The 16th Street Retaining Wall
Additional Description: To accommodate the change in elevation and to minimize the impact of what would have been a forbidding expanse of high retaining wall, the designers built a low wall at the sidewalk and then, sloping upward, a buffer area densely planted with trees and shrubs screening a much higher second retaining wall.
