Elizabeth Park, Bellingham (Wash.)

Caption on reverse in ink: "Elizabeth Park. Bellingham, Wash." Taken at the edge of a lagoon with an elaborate statue, the Haller Fountain, in the middle and cattails growing in the water in the foreground. Appears to be looking northwest, with Walnut Street houses on the left and Washington Street houses on the right in the background. There are several young trees. In the left foreground an edge of the bandstand is visible. Elizabeth Park is the oldest park in Bellingham, located on land donated by Henry Roeder. It first appeared as land reserved as a public park in 1884 but was not officially named Elizabeth Park, in honor of Elizabeth Roeder, until 1912. Prior to 1912 it was known as Walnut Street Park. Park Commissioner Roland Gamwell was in charge of the development of the park.
