Sheridan Square
A small patch of garden cut into shape by Barrow Street, West Fourth Street, and Christopher Place, Sheridan Square was an unexceptional traffic triangle, dull and concrete, until 1981, when community leaders took up the cause of beautification, and, with the help of the city in the form of small grant money, landscaped the plot. (The square has since been adopted by the city, ensuring its survival as a community garden). The earth below the square had miraculously remained untroubled until the gardening began, and the 1981 work accidentally uncovered a large collection of archeological treasures from the Native American era.
