Map request

A map of the park's boundaries would be nice. Cacw (talk) 21:16, 18 March 2013 (UTC) A source map can be found here. Cacw (talk) 01:40, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Built for the Expo?

I believe only the American Swedish Historical Museum was built for the Sesquicentennial Exposition. The boat house and Gazebo predate the Exposition having been built in 1914.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmaleno (talk • contribs) 00:17, September 28, 2014‎

I couldn't immediately find construction dates for the buildings, but Friends of FDR Park say "The Park's boathouse, gazebo and American Swedish Historical Museum are current reminders of the Exposition."[1] - SummerPhD (talk) 16:11, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've found dates for the structures and added them with a source. Unfortunately, this leaves Friends of FDR Park's statement sounding rather awkward: "The park's boathouse (1916), gazebo (1914) and American Swedish Historical Museum (1926) are reminders of the 1926 Exposition." I don't know what they mean by 1914 and 1916 structures being "reminders" of a 1926 event. Absent any other suggestions, I'm thinking we should yank the sentence and possibly add some clarification to the article that the Park and its structures were constructed at various times. Thoughts? - SummerPhD (talk) 00:04, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
