Structures Structures within Pearl Street Mall include original 1977 features associated with play and gathering nodes, and features added in 1999 such as light posts with shade structure. Recently installed features include vender facilities and kiosks, and a public restroom. Four interactive play and gathering nodes - Play Area and Bridge, Nature Forms, Pop-jet Fountain and Illuminated Map - are located within the pedestrian mall. Play Area and Bridge and Nature Forms are original features that remain in original locations. Modifications to Play Area and Bridge in the 1200 Block in 2002, and to Nature Forms in the 1400 Block, were focused on replacement of the surfacing. The Play Area and Bridge and Nature Forms are contributing features. Two other interactive nodes, Pop-jet fountain, located in the 1300 Block and Illuminated Map, located in the 1400 Block are contemporary additions from the redesign in 1999. Three structures were added to the 1300 Block near Boulder County Courthouse — a food vendor facility, an information kiosk, and a public restroom — after original construction was completed and are not associated with the 1999 redesign and are non-contributing features. Metal light posts with octagonal sandstone bases were added to the mall during the 1999 redesign of Pearl Street Mall. Similar to the original light posts installed in 1977, these light posts feature globes, banners, and flower pots. A woven cloth shade structures extends across the light posts on the 1300 Block. The light posts in modified locations are a feature of the 1999 redesign by Communication Arts, contributing to the significance to Pearl Street Mall.
