LESSON 14 Park Entrance HIS lesson offers an opportunity to study a de- sign for a city park entrance. The problem is similar in general character to the two entrance studies already examined; but in this case the entrance being to a larger area, used by a much larger volume of traffic, the treatment is neces- sarily more elaborate.

LESSON 14 Park Entrance HIS lesson offers an opportunity to study a de- sign for a city park entrance. The problem is similar in general character to the two entrance studies already examined; but in this case the entrance being to a larger area, used by a much larger volume of traffic, the treatment is neces- sarily more elaborate. Illustration The example herewith shown is from a design for the main entrance to Lincoln Park, Manitowoc, Wis. The design and draw- ing are by Mr. F. A. Gushing Smith, landscape architect, Chicago. The approach is by two streets at right angles to each other, and this condition makes the problem of designing an artistic en- trance especially difficult. Mr. Smith has met this condition by developing a monumental feature at the intersection of the two streets. Each street thus terminates definitively upon this mon- ument. The monument moreover becomes the entrance feature of the park, marking the gateway with an object of dignity, beauty and interest. The conservatory is so placed as to emphasize fur- ther the terminus of the incoming boulevard and to introduce the park motive, and to add further interest to the entrance area. Other features of the design are sufficiently explained in the drawing. 61.
