Scope and content
ca. 1891. Homes overlooking Wright Park, ca. 1891. Statues of "dancing maidens" donated to the city by Clinton P. Ferry flank the Division Street entrance to Wright Park. The north end of the park was very desolate in appearance with a gravel road and sparse vegetation. The 1890 double house built for Charles E. Clancey and the Queen Anne-styled home of John Holgate, constructed in 1889, overlook the park. Both homes were in the 100 block of South "G." The sepia print by A.C. Carpenter is very faded and mounted in postcard fashion.
