Objects Objects that remain from the original 1977 construction include the Waterface Sculpture, the Big Flower Pot and Bicentenniary Paver. Art installations installed after completion of construction include public art sculptures and the Split Rock sculpture. The Water Face sculpture and Big Flower Pot remain in their original locations and contribute to the significance of Pearl Street Mall. The Bicentenniary Paver and the time capsule underneath were relocated within the 1300 Block when it was redesigned. The National State Bank Clock is a contributing feature that predates the pedestrian mall and remains in its original location, which is in front of Boulder's oldest commercial building. Small-Scale Features Small-scale features are the human-scaled elements that provide detail and function. Contributing small-scale features that remain from the original 1977 construction include metal light posts with three and four globes, posting kiosks, flagpoles on the 1100 Block, rectangular wood benches, and two square wood benches on the 1400 Block. The Downtown Boulder Mall Directories are contributing interpretive elements from the 1999 redesign. Replacements in place of original features include bollards, metal tree grates, and water fountains. Light posts in modified locations, Mall and Information directories, concrete planter pots, and interpretive signs are contemporary additions in new locations and are non-contributing features.
