The three levels of HALS documentation

• Level One: HALS-I form– Base line information as permanent record– Provides statement of significance and possible

recommendation for further documentation

• Level Two: Cultural Landscape Inventory– Provides statement of significance and basis of

recommendations for extensive documentation

• Level Three: Cultural Landscape Survey– Most intensive level of documentation, providing historical

documentation and basis for landscape treatments ranging from preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, reconstruction

The HALS-I form

• Created by the NPS for HALS documentation.

• Efficient and effective for site reconnaissance.

• Familiar to most landscape architects as site analysis.

• Very easy to use with only a little training.

• HALS-I submittals become a part of the largest baseline survey ever made of historic American landscapes.

The following tutorial demonstrates how the HALS-I form was used to document the historic Bonnet Estate in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Bonnet House is the legacy of American fine artist Fredrick Bartlett and his wife Evelyn. They translated the architecture and arts of Europe into a native Floridian estate designed to promote a gracious indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This Atlantic Ocean barrier island estate is the most prominent in Broward County, and one of the finest historic gardens in Florida.

Lessons Learned

• Emphasize HALS-I short-form documentation.

• Prepare a variety of HALS-I forms for designed and vernacular landscapes and, when appropriate,

ethnographic landscapes.

• Don’t ignore Modernist landscapes, for they often are the most threatened sites.

• When you submit HALS-I forms to the Florida HALS Liaison your documentation becomes a part of largest baseline survey ever made of historic American

landscapes.

Landscape Architect David J. Driapsa heads up HALS in Florida. David was educated at University of Arizona where he received a master of landscape architecture with specialty in cultural landscape research, working as a graduate research assistant to Professor Ervin Zube, Ph.D. Returning to Florida, he entered practice documenting significant historic landscapes. ASLA HP-PPN tapped him for the executive committee, and he served as ex-officio chair, co-chair and vice-chair. The National Park Service appointed him Florida District Officer of HALS. He leads the program through the FLASLA HALS Subcommittee and serves as chair. David continues to serve ASLA nationally as Coordinator of HALS Liaisons.
