The park lost many tall, old trees when it was ravaged by a 1980 killer tornado that swept through downtown Kalamazoo. Off Oakland Drive north of Howard Street is the 175-foot tall landmark on the hilltop campus of the Kalamazoo Regional Psychiatric Hospital. The water tanks in the 1895 Queen Anne-style tower are no longer in use. More Wright homes are found in a rural setting south of the city of Galesburg. An acclaimed 1931 example of Art Deco style, City Hall at 241 W. South Street has a three story, skylit atrium.
Visitors are welcome.
