The Castle MUST be restored, and the Quad roof repaired. Put the garden back as Mrs. Haupt wished it to be. That's it.

Bigger is not always better. This little garden is a jewel and should be preserved "as is."

Have to respect history and beauty and residents. Not hard to decide, but I am losing faith.

Please, please save this garden. It is unique in Washington and a respite from the world outside it's gates.

The garden is a beautiful, restful oasis on the National Mall - and the Renwick Gate was part of Renwick's vision for the Castle. They should be preserved as is. Invest the money in renovating the Castle instead.

The proposed plan is a huge mistake, will destroy a national treasure with a "Jetsonlike" monstrosity, and is nothing more than vanity-driven tax deduction.

Nothing short of a desecration and is against everything the Smithsonian stands for. The new plan is soul destroying. Please don't allow this to happen.

I hope the Smithsonian Institution will reconsider destroying such an important area of beauty and peace.

I'm a Maryland native and finally got to visit this 2 weeks ago, why would they want to get rid of such a beautiful area? Just keep building underground if you must!

These gardens allow to show off the Smithsonian castle to best effect. Changing the layout or the gardens would reduce the visibility of this iconic castle from the street and be huge blight on the otherwise sound administration of this landmark institution.
