This park structure's originality of form, details, and craftsmanship
marks it as an exceptional example of the Prairie School style of
architecture. Its broad lines are integral with the sweeping nature of
Jens Jensen's landscape designs for Humboldt Park, and the building's
wide arches frame dramatic vistas of the park. With this design and
others, architect Hugh M.G. Garden developed a progressive style that
continues to influence modern architecture. |
