Amon Carter Riverside High School Park Shelter – Yucca

This small Mis¬sion Revival park shelter has an exposed timber ceiling, a red tile hip roof and cross timber rai1ins. Slightly elevated on a concrete platform, the open-air structure evokes the feeling of a small temple. During 1935-36, the Works Progress Administration improved and landscaped the grounds of twenty-one Fort Worth schools an undertaking which included construction of this park shelter on the grounds of Amon Carter Riverside High School. The Kansas City firm of Hare and Hare served as landscape architects for the grounds improvement project.
