Park Improvements
The Dusenbury Brothers added a new artistic iron fence along the High Street frontage for one-third of a mile. The fence had a concrete base with artistic brick columns every 50 feet. The parking lot was enlarged.[2] They tore down the Colonnade and the restaurant building.[1] The parking space near the High Street entrance was improved. They constructed a new concrete bridge across the ravine where the Photo Gallery was located.[3] The grounds were graded, and new walks were added.[2]
