Boulder Historic Places Plan

Vegetation Vegetation includes groves of mature deciduous and evergreen trees. At the amphitheater, mature trees define the edges of the sloped concrete terrace. A planting bed of low shrubs along the amphitheater berm defines the southern edge. Mown grass surrounds the amphitheater and is at the south lawn. • Protect contributing tree patterns including the groves and mature vegetation. • Replace missing or damaged trees and patterns of trees with in-kind plantings similar to the original in species, form, and texture. • Routinely maintain all vegetation growth within close proximity of the Bandshell. • Remove ivy on exterior rear wall. Small Scale Features Small scale features include the low Stone Wall, Art Deco style lampposts, and engraved boulders. The Art Deco style lampposts and engraved boulders were added after the period of significance. • Any new small scale features to accommodate programming, use and health and safety within Glen Huntington Bandshell’s site would be reviewed by the Boulder Landmarks Board in accordance with Chapter 9-11 (Historic Preservation) of the Boulder Revised Municipal Code, and the General Guidelines for Historic Districts and Individual Landmarks.
