Notes
  • Significance: Built in 1921, the carousel at Glen Echo Park is one of sixteen carousels on its original site, out of approximately 200 in the country. It represents the later work of the William H. Dentzel Company of Philadelphia, which established a successful carousel industry from its founding in the 1860s until William Dentzel's death in 1928. The carousel features several horses by one of the most creative carousel figure carvers in the nation, Daniel C. Muller. Believed to be the first of the elaborate jester head models, the carousel is notable for its high-quality carvings and its "jumpers" the middle and inner row animals.
