1908 Garfield Park Bridge Indianapolis Indiana

Original early 20th-century postcard featuring a scenic view of one of the charming limestone bridges in Garfield Park, Indianapolis. Postmarked 1908, this rare card captures the tranquil beauty of the city’s oldest park as it appeared during the early years of its major landscape transformation.

The bridge, built of locally quarried limestone, spans Pleasant Run Creek with elegant, block-style railings and rustic stonework typical of park design during the era. This was part of a broader movement to beautify urban spaces, led in part by noted landscape architect George Kessler, who began redesigning Garfield Park around 1909.

This antique postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
