Villa Park TO Have Another Garden "Sub"

Project To Have Trio Small Parks

N. O. Shively & Co. announce that their "Madison Street Gardens", at the intersection of Madison street and Ardmore avenue, in Villa Park, will follow the idea outlined by John R. Robertson & Co. in their Madison Street-Ardmore subdivision, adjoining the Shively tract on the east, and lay out a generous portion of the land in small parks.

There'll be three of these breathing spaces; named Morningside park, Evergreen park and Sunset Park. The largest will be approximately 575x120 feet. Evergreen park will be 500x128, while Sunset park, the smallest of the trio, will be 400x128.

In laying out the three small parks a certain portion will be allotted fro a baseball ground, a portion for a playground, and the balance will be planted with trees, shrubbery and flowers.

According to Shively&Co., improvements on the property will start immediately in order to ready for building by next September.

The Madison Street Gardens extend south to Jackson street and west to Harvard avenue. Yale avenue will extend from north to south in a sweeping curve across the subdivision.
