Description: Reverse reads: "W.P.A. Concert Band at Lytle Park. Cincinnati, Ohio 1936" This photograph shows the WPA Concert Band performing at the Michael Mullen Memorial Band Stand in Lytle Park. Lytle Park is 2.3 acres and bounded by Fourth Street and Lawrence Street in downtown Cincinnati. It is the original site of the home of General William Henry Lytle, the first Surveyor General of the State of Ohio. A 15 foot bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft stands in the park, which initially caused a storm of critical controversy with its realism. Concerts are often given at the Michael Mullen memorial bandstand. Mullen was a popular former councilman and civic leader. View on Ohio Memory.
