This site is a premier example of the Prairie style of landscape architecture. Alfred Caldwell, a landscape designer, architect, teacher and poet, transformed an old Victorian lily pool in Lincoln Park into a "sanctuary of the native landscape." Funded by the Works Progress Administration and completed in 1938, it possesses national significance in commemorating the cultural history of the United States.
