Bathroom Buildings

Even our bathrooms have a story! Just south of the Koehler Park entrance on St. Mary’s Street, you’ll find two cool restroom buildings made from rough rubble stone and topped with sleek metal roofs. Originally, these buildings probably had green clay tile roofs, but they’ve changed over time. Built around 1920 when Lambert was the Parks commissioner, they have a design that’s very similar to other structures in the park, and many think they were created by the famous architect Will Noonan. What’s really interesting is that nearly identical buildings can also be found at Woodlawn Lake Park, which was built around the same time!
