Well, congratulations Bryan. Once again, the contest was won with the first guess. I will start making them harder or more subjective. Either way. This is glen echo park, which was a local “trolley park” or amusement park accessible by trolley, located just outside DC in Glen Echo Maryland. It’s right on the Potomac, and is today visible from MacArthur Blvd or the Cabin John Parkway.
In either case, to give a little history, the park lost its popularity by the mid sixties and was taken over by the National Park Service in the early 70′s. It was that put through a rehabilitation process and became a park for the arts. Many of the original buildings have been restored and many have found new uses. Unfortunately the crystal pool was not brought back to its original beauty, but I think its neat that there’s a reminder of the parks rehabilitation.
Also of note, the trolley in this picture isn’t from the area, it was brought there from Philadelphia.
