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.
