I enjoyed our look back at ten years of the blog last week so much that I decided to extend the fun another week. So, please enjoy these favorites from the blog's first year.
Jefferson Park was built in 1932 and 1933 as a project of the Works Project Administration. Jefferson Elementary School, at the intersection of Second and Ice Streets, is adjacent to the park in the background of this photograph. Completed in 1931 at a cost of $125,000, it had been built at the behest of the City Council in order to provide local employment during the Great Depression. Its unusual styling is categorized as Tudor/Elizabethan revival.
