Mawson's vision for Calgary, had it been implemented, would have changed what was then a dusty prairie town, into a city of the City Beautiful movement. Preservation and restoration With the passage of time many of Mawson's finished schemes have either disappeared or decayed out of all recognition. However, efforts have been made to preserve his designs by heritage listings (mainly the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, although some of his structures such as the terraces at Rydal Hall are listed buildings). Also, a number of Mawson's parks and gardens have been restored, sometimes on a one-off basis or as part of wider initiatives such as the "Parks for People" programme for historic parks and cemeteries in the UK. Examples of restorations include: Rydal Hall, Cumbria, where Mawson's Grade II* listed Italianate terraces have been restored. Two Grade II* listed municipal parks in the city of Stoke-on-Trent (Hanley Park and Burslem Park) Bushey Rose Garden, Hertfordshire (Grade II listed). In 2019, work started on the restoration of Mawson's garden at Mount Stuart House. The work was due to be completed in August 2022. Archive More than 14,000 plans and drawings together with 6,500 glass plate negatives and photographs comprise the archive of Mawson documents. They are stored at Cumbria Archive Centre, Kendal, having been offered to the Cumbria Archive Service following the closure of Thomas H. Mawson & Son of Lancaster and Windermere in 1978.
