Two mirrored sets of benches and bulletin boards/display cases flank the entrance to the primary walkway leading from Jayhawk Boulevard to Watson Library. Each set is composed of a dimensional limestone block wall with smooth limestone coping. Benches with smooth limestone seats and backs are inset in the walls. The bulletin boards/display cases are inset within the tall stone surrounds. A smooth limestone entablature caps the cases. There is a wide concrete plaza between the two cases. The object retains integrity and exemplifies the tradition of landscape features as gifts and memorials, rendering it contributing to the character of the District.
