Scenes from Riverview Park

This postcard was published from an Anna Schnitzlein photo, looking north in Riverview Park. If you look closely, you can see a man sitting on the rock wall. There is a woman behind him. On the hillside behind them is where the Mark Twain Statue would later be installed. The guesstimate age of this photo is 1915. Robert Spaun postcard.

This photo is facing south in Riverview Park. The photo was taken from roughly where the Mark Twain Statue would later be placed. Today, with the mature trees in the park, the southern loverlook cannot be seen from this vantage point. Robert Spaun postcard.

Scene in Riverview park. This rock formation still exists by the old entrance to Riverview Park, which connected to the River Road. This rock formation is below the first - or northernmost - park overlook. At least four people can be seen in this early photo. Robert Spaun postcard.

As you can see, this postcard shows an old farmhouse on the Riverview Park property. The location of the house is not known, but the photograph is facing the east. Robert Spaun postcard.
