He developed this location as a public amusement park which was opened on June 13th, 1840, at which time D.J. Kennedy made the drawing from which this sketch has been copied. Fireworkds, music and dancing attracted the evening crowds. A feature was a fine collection of birds. He was induced to join with Ward & McIntosh, in the erection of a theatre upon the site. This venture failed and the ground was soon afterward devoted to the building of residences and two churches., Taylor Catalog Number: 254
