CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS

1918 (HGFD-1) – This early view shows the structure of the Vine Walk trellis before planting.

Freestanding Structures

Freestanding structures at Allerton Park typically serve as focal points or destinations in the landscape. These include the House of the Golden Buddhas; the pylons associated with the Centaur; and several stair towers. Sculpture bases are discussed in a subsequent section.

2001 – The House of the Golden Buddhas is a focal feature that is in need of careful rehabilitation. This is a discreet project that could be undertaken independently of other work. The first step should be preparation of a Historic Structures Report.
