This post card, mailed October 31, 1906 from New Orleans, Louisiana to Brooklyn, New York depicts Swan Island in Grant Park and states: "Grant Park was the the gift of the late L.P. Grant, and originally contained 120 acres, to which the city has added largely.

Constitution Spring fed Lake Abana until 1906 when the City's reservoir supplemented the underground mineral spring.
