Franklin Park in Columbus, Ohio, is the subject here, with its paved walkways and tree-lined grounds taking center stage in this view. The Detroit Publishing Company, which photographed towns, parks and landscapes across the United States in the early twentieth century, made the 8 by 10 inch glass negative, and the date of about 1904 is an estimate. Urban parks like this one were popular gathering places for city residents, and their promenades offer a glimpse of how Columbus used public green space during the period.
