Wednesday, Nov 30, 2022, through December Kilian Hardware, 8450 Germantown Avenue This year, the Conservancy is taking a break from Night of Lights, so we chose to present an exhibit from our archives in the Avenue for the Holiday Season. The Exhibit will be focused on Pastorius Park, one of the biggest and most beloved green spaces in Chestnut Hill, and a key component that defines the beauty and special character of this urban village. However, did you know that while today the park is full of life and activity, at one point it was planned to be something very different? This Streetscape Exhibit will showcase the evolution of Pastorius Park throughout the years. Initially conceived as a dramatic landscaped double roundabout in the heart of Chestnut Hill, the Park has been rescued and maintained by Friends of Pastorius Park. The Exhibit will feature a collection of panels created by Landscape Architect Rob Fleming, including several rarely-seen Olmsted drawings from his research with the Olmsted Archives. In addition to that, a last panel will highlight the heroic and sustained efforts of Friends of Pastorius Park to restore, rejuvenate and replant the park. The panels will be displayed in the storefront of Kilian Hardware, 8450 Germantown Ave.
