Photo 74-BAL-6

Comments

The wild-west style complex here was once known as the Robinson Park Museum on Leo Road. It was demolished long ago and the site is unrecognizable due to suburban development. Essentially, this site is now a pond in a subdivision. Interestingly, this place bore the name of an amusement park Fort Wayne had in the early 1900s, but I was unable to find more information as to why. Vintage postcards of this place can also be found. Weirdly, it seems that by the time of this picture, the complex was in use as a tractor dealer as well, so it may have closed as a museum by this time.
