Review:
Also known as the Lincoln Park Lily Pool, The Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool is a National Historic Landmark located on Fullerton Parkway in Lincoln Park. Designed by Alfred Caldwell in 1936, the pool is an outstanding example of Prairie School landscape architecture and is now open to the public for viewing. Managed by the Lincoln Park Conservancy, the pool has curving walkways, winding stepping stone limestone pathways, and circular benches where visitors can sit and admire the scenic vistas. A shelter influenced by the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright looks is built out over the pool, and the Fullerton Gateway, a uniquely styled entrance to the property, is another excellent example of Prairie School landscape design.
