Summary/Background:
In May, 2016, the Historic Preservation Division partnered with the Town of Taos for a Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) for the Taos Historic Plaza. The CLR included a recommendation for a revision to the period of significance, 1790 to 1950. There have been extensive modifications to the Plaza since 1950 which have diminished the integrity of the Plaza. Modifications include interior walls, statues, structures and extensive brick paving and grade changes. Plaza treatment guidance recommendations are rehabilitation to reestablish the qualities of the Plaza’s physical form of its pre-1950s character when it was one open space enclosed by a low adobe wall and characterized by a simple pattern of walks, trees, with a central focus
During Summer 2017, the first step towards rehabilitation began with hardscape removal and grass being planted in a 4,800 square foot area.
During Summer 2018, the Town Council approved the CLR Plan 1-A as the guide for rehabilitation work. Phase 2 included removal of southern wall elements and northern elements. Brick was removed and the area was trenched, water lines and conduit were installed, trenches were back filled and re-bricked except in the area where sod was installed along the southern edge of the Plaza. All aerial lines were permanently removed.
Project Scope
Phase 3 encompasses the removal of two walls and extending the steps in both directions. Install irrigation in the northeast corner. Remove 5 trees and planters. Plant 6 trees. See Phase 3 Map.
The Town will match the grant of $24,999 with a cash match of $6,400.01 and an inkind match of $18,797.25
