This photograph from the Sandusky Parks Collection
of the Sandusky Library Archives Research Center was taken in 1895. The clothes
of the people walking in Washington Park are typical of the Victorian era, with
long skirts for the ladies, and everyone wearing hats.
The church spires, seen on either side of the
gazebo, are from the Methodist church,
on the left side, and the Presbyterian church, on the right side. The
Presbyterian church is still located in downtown Sandusky, but the Methodist
church is not. Trinity Methodist Church relocated to the corner of Wayne and
East Jefferson Streets in the 1920s. The
Sloane House hotel and Kingsbury block
can be seen to the north of Washington Park. Visit the Sandusky Library
Archives Research Center to view this and hundreds of other historic
photographs of Sandusky and Erie County.
