The Depot, Union Park, postcard 3

The Depot, Union Park, Dubuque, IA
This image features The Depot (a.k.a. The Waiting Station) tinted in a brick red color instead of the green we've seen previously. The plants featured in The Loop area have a different configuration. It appears that cannas were planted in the center garden that summer. Union Park was well-known for its collection of flowering plants. The groundskeeper, Mr. Bonz, kept the bulbs in the greenhouses during the Winter and replanted them in the Spring.
