Armory Park, 1969

 

Hello All,

Thanks to Catherine for settling the Washington Park / Armory Park question.

Back in 1969, a now-famous photographer named Eric Kroll passed through Tucson on a cross-country Greyhound trip. During the brief stop at our downtown terminal, he walked around and took some photos. Eric recently asked me to identify this long-forgotten photograph. I was able to confirm that it was Armory Park facing northwest. It's a great photo, and Eric said I could share it with the group (all rights reserved)¡­



Thanks,

Carlos

Under the photo it states that Armory Park was originally Washington Park, it changed names to Armory Park in 1914 after the construction of the Armory.

This should answer the question.

That is why I like this group...Always something to learn despite being a native.
Thank you Catherine.
