Description |
Photograph of the Wesley Avenue entrance into Agricultural Park, ca.1910. There is an elaborate gateway over the road into the park, made up of a pair of brick pyramids topped with shingles and metal balls supporting a large wooden structure that stretches across the road. There is a large arched opening in the structure with big gates to seal it; these are open. There are tall trees and a corral in the background. Many advertisements are posted on the gateway, including, from left to right, "Forced through the Wall [...] R. J. Busch Second and Broadway", "Ask for [...] Lye", "Coca Cola", " Geo. W. Child's 5 cent Cigar", "Diamond C Soap", "Lema", "Agricultural Park", "Pearline, "Old Dutch Cleanser", and "Climax". |
