Within
the Reach of All: An Illustrated History of
Brandywine Park This book written by Susan Mulcahey
Chase documents the evolution of this Wilmington
gem. Beautifully written and illustrated with
both historical picture postcards and new photographs,
this book is the ideal addition to the libraries
interested in Delaware history.
Originally
constructed in 1902, the Sugar Bowl, so named
due to its lid-shaped domed roof, was used as
both a pavilion and an observatory. It once
stood as the entrance to the Brandywine Zoo.
