When the Mammoth Theater was built in 1909, it literally divided the park into 2 areas. This division would eventually be the park's downfall. When the sky opened up on July 9, 1919 and let forth a torrent of rain, the theater acted like a dam. Water to the west side of the building was trapped and by some accounts the water rose to 20 feet. This postcard was used in 1911.Sunday, April 18, 2010
