National Park Seminary, Chateau Causeways, Between Linden Lane & Beach Drive, Silver Spring, Montgomery County, MD
Summary
Significance: The causeways' design echoed the forms of Main. The design is vaguely Gothic. It is another fantasyland-like feature on the campus. Its rather large girth and length made it a prominent part of the campus. Yet, as with other parts of Ament's design, it was not always congruous with adjacent buildings. By erecting still another architectural feature, Ament heightened the heavy-handed appearance of the campus grounds.
