Roger Williams Park, Japanese Garden

Description

Built in 1935-1936 by the Works Progress Administration in the 430 acre park designed by Horace Cleveland in 1878.  The park itself is laid out in the romantic landscape tradition of Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) and complements the asymmetry of the Japanese garden with its japonaise bridge and waterscape.
