Project description

The images in this series appear to be “before” photos of the Walter D. Stone Memorial Zoo site prior to its redesign. After modernizing the Franklin Park Children’s Zoo, Sand and the MDC turned their attention to the historic Stone Zoo. A Metropolitan District Commission annual report from that year describes how, “At the Stone Zoo, a hilltop Children’s Zoo has progressed to final plans and specifications for an exhibit of baby animals for youngsters to pet, touch and feed, similar to the popular Children’s Zoo at Franklin Park.”
