When I asked about the whole project a few minutes ago, the manager pointed out some photos I hadn’t noticed before, photos of the park during its heyday and photos of founder Mary Elitch (1856-1936). One of the facility’s staff walked me around the office building, showing me the pictures they have on display, and the manager said that there are lots more in storage – they just haven’t waded through it all to figure out what to do with them.
I’m neither a historian nor a photographer (as I think my occasional photos here have clearly demonstrated), but this bit of information has my attention. I find myself wanting to see just what they have in the basement, and if I can take along someone who knows enough about the history of Elitch and the park that bore her name, how incredible would that be?
