Scope and content
Berthold Prengel and his granddaughter Patricia McLean pose in the handmade carnival playground built by the grandfather's loving hands. All of the rides were built from scrap lumber for the enjoyment of 4 year old Pat and her friends. They include a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, chute-the-chute (slide), teeter-totter, swing and carnival games. All are painted red, orange, blue and yellow and boldly labeled "Pat." (T. Times 6/4/1937, pg. 3)
