Description
The Wisteria Pergola waits in the spring sun for the growing and soon to bloom plants which give it it's name within New York City's Central Park in wonderful black and white.
Olmsted and Vaux placed a Wisteria Pergola overlooking the area which used to be the concert grounds and The Mall. The long, latticed patio is 130 feet long by 25 feet wide. It's many wooden supports are interlaced with wisteria vines that have gotten heavy and extremely thick over the years. (Information obtained from centralpark.com)
Central Park, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, is an urban park in New York City's borough of Manhattan. The park initially opened in 1857 on 778 acres of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan to the current 843 acres, which they entitled the Greensward Plan. Construction commenced that same year, continued through the American Civil War, and concluded in 1873. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States.
