The Children's Playground, Union Park, postcard 4

The Children's Playground, Union Park, Dubuque, IAA postcard used in 1914 shows the entrance to the Children's Playground. I'm guessing that the building on the left is the pagoda that later became known as "The Death Pavilion". The people on the right in the background are crowded around The Wading Pool. This is one of my favorite postcards. It has a magical quality to it and takes you back to a different era.
