United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7, g Page 3 North Liberty Park St. Joseph County IN small concrete -and -iron pedestrian bridge, also built in the 1930s. The dam had created a pool in Potato Creek, the outline of which is marked on the west side of the creek by a low concrete wall and a fieldstone wall, part of which is terraced (photo 8). At the top of the terracing is a small fieldstone building, the former bath house, which contains restrooms (photos 8,10). The small flat -roofed rectangular building has two window openings on the west and one each on the north and south. All are bricked except the one on the south. On the east are two doors, the entrances to the restrooms. Upstream (northward) from the former dam is a footbridge. The wooden bridge itself is a more recent replacement, but the fieldstone abutments on both sides are the original, built in the 1930s. On the north side of the west abutment is a fieldstone -lined runoff drain (photo 9). Tucked in the northwest corner of the park in an unmown tangle of brambles is a fieldstone ruin, a low wall that forms about three-quarters of a circle. It is too overgrown now to identify, but it had been a fireplace oven with a circular bench. There are three open frame picnic shelters in the park. One, with a hipped roof covered in asphalt shingles and eight upright timbers supporting it, is west of the creek, north of the bath house (photo 10). This replaced a similar but slightly larger shelter in the same location that had been built by the WPA. The other two are east of the creek near the north end of the park, downhill and northwest of the north entrance. These two are essentially identical (see photo 11), with gabled roofs and each with six huge timber uprights supporting it. These were probably constructed in the 1960s. A play area that contains a two-tiered fieldstone planter is near them (photo 11). Three small fish rearing ponds were originally located in this area, from the 1930s into the early 1960s. Not far away, a single fieldstone bench sits near the northeast corner of the park (photo 12). NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Nestled in a little valley on both sides of Potato Creek, North Liberty Community Park is a particularly attractive example of a small town park developed by the Works Progress Administration in
