Description |
The inscription on plaque reads: "Delaware Park was designed by
Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux as the principal public park
within an overall system of parks, parkways and public spaces planned
for the city of Buffalo between 1868 & 1898. The park system also
included the "Parade" (now Martin Luther King Park), Front, Riverside,
Cazenovia and South Parks in addition to the system of connecting
parkways. These parks and parkways are listed on the National Register
of Historic Places." The plaque contains an image-in-relief of the
general plan for Delaware Park Lake from 1899.
