Richard Scott, President of REO Motor Co., built the Sunken Garden in 1930. The garden was built within the foundation of Michigan Supreme Court Justice Edward Cahill's former home. Before he became a Supreme Court Justice, Edward Cahill led the first African-American regiment from Michigan into the Civil War.
The Park and garden site are a State, City, and General Motors landmark. The group Preservation Lansing is working to have Scott Park registered by the State as a historic site.
