NRHP Nomination Form"Covered Pergolas each reached by a set of broad concrete steps, were constructed in the grassy areas in the northwest and southwest corners of the Plaza. Both Pergolas had low, elbowed concrete walls with plinths splaying at an angle from each side of the main structure. A low concrete wall ran east from the easternmost edge of the north Peristyle, an arrangement mirrored in the southern structure. Landscaped areas to the north of Elm and the south of Commerce Streets were also a part of the final plan for Dealey Plaza, and were separated from adjacent properties by cedar picket fences. These grassy areas were planted along their outermost perimeters with oak trees and holly hedges."
