Non-Historic Vegetation
Figure 5-48. This Norway maple may be historic. (JMA 2008).
Non-historic plantings include several beds of
ornamental plants, stands of trees, and screening
vegetation located throughout the campus.
Ornamental beds are located at the base of the
stone wall that parallels Main Street, within the
area between West Hall and the Chapel, around
the statue of Countess Benigna von Zinzendorf, in
the small beds east of Peter Hall and south of Main
Hall, and in the garden of the Frueauff House (see
figures 5-30 and 5-31). These plants include perennial
flowers, shrubs, hostas, ornamental grasses, and
several small trees, including dogwood, maple,
spruce, hawthorn, and ornamental pear trees.
Other non-historic tree plantings include the
trees within the large parking lot in the southwest
corner of the site and the grove of trees between
the Clewell Hall lot and Sakon Place (figure 5-51).
These trees include maples, ginkgos, honey locusts,
pines, oaks, and ornamental apple and pear trees.
A few non-historic plant groupings are intended to
screen undesirable elements, such as the cedar and
arborvitae surrounding the A/C units next to Foy
Concert Hall (figure 5-52).

vegetation that previously covered this area (JMA 2008).
