CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS

2001 – Pylons associated with the outlying spaces of the Centaur indicate serious deterioration, including evidence of recent losses. This hazardous condition should be rectified as soon as possible

Summary of Structural Recommendations

Major structural projects are listed below. Many of these are substantial projects that must be undertaken before other work can begin. Several student projects have documented problems associated with the walls and have developed options for their repair. The University has also obtained cost estimates for some repairs. In most cases a more thorough analysis is needed before detailed recommendations and budgets can be prepared. All treatments should be made in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards under the supervision of someone experienced in dealing with historic resources.
