The Promenade, Union Park, postcard 2

This postcard is entitled "Union Park Scene, Dubuque, Iowa, U.S.A." It was produced by the Acme Art Store. The viewpoint for this black and white postcard was taken from the right of the Waiting Station and looks towards the front lawn of The Pavilion and an area know as The Waiting Area on the left in the background. You can see benches in this area for people to wait and meet their family and friends. You can just make out the stairs to the original Rustic Bandstand.

The sidewalk in front leads to the restrooms. At the time of this photo, there was a merry-go-round for children to play on. It was located on the lawn of the Pavilion along with large planters. You can also see the creek cutting through the lawn. The sidewalk off to the left was known as The Promenade; you can see people strolling down it. The building on the right is the Ice Cream Stand. In the background center there is a large sign advertising "Chatauqua Opens Today".

The card in my collection was not postally used. However, based on the clothing in the image I'm going to estimate that it was taken around 1910.
