The National Register boundaries of Fort Washington are not clearly specified in the nomination form; the description includes the landscaped area and the surrounding fence, but there is no sketch map and no boundary clearly described as such. According to the Cambridge Historical Commission, Fort Washington Park 1857, as shown on the tracks and the will be reclaimed through the restoration project. The relocated fence will be in this area. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. This determina- tion will enable the Fort Washington restoration to proceed in the next construction season and is greatly appreciated by all concerned.
