The Peristyle |
||
|
 Note the beautifully ornate parapet surrounding the
top of the Peristyle when photographed in 1910. It was removed by WPA workers in 1936, deemed to be causing roofing problems.
In 1989 Mae and Vincent Saia along with Friends of City Park generously funded its renovation. The Peristyle is now an anchor
of the Goldring/Woldenberg Great Lawn which was completed in the Spring of 2010. (LOC) : :
