Summary
Established in 1876, and greatly expanded in 1924, Harmon Park featured a baseball field, playground, and a formal garden and fountain. During the Great Depression, Harmon Park developed further through a series of New Deal projects, which included the Art Deco style Sonotorium and Bathhouse and a whimsical rock garden featuring an intertwined stream and footpath, a series of lily ponds and even a "lighthouse" observation tower. It is a wonderful example of the creativity and workmanship typical of Depression-era make-work projects.
