Summary

[edit]
Description

Avondale Lake near Avon, Illinois

My first swooping spin on this particular installation, which is supported only from the top of the center pole, was in 1946, making the installation at least 63 years old. I recall that the wood planks were then painted green. I imagine that the wood planks have been changed out several times since then, but the steel parts appear to be original.

One apparatus in this playground carries the name plate: Mitchell Manufacturing Co/ Milwaukee Wis. Whether this witch's hat is a Mitchell apparatus is uncertain.

Compare with the witch's hat in Bernadotte: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/12535240@N05/3638207531/in/set-72157619804630041/">www.flickr.com/photos/12535240@N05/3638207531/in/set-7215...</a>
