Additional Comments

Sholes Park, established in 1923 and named after Christopher Sholes, the inventor of the typewriter and a two term Wisconsin State senator, occupied 31 acres adjacent to the Honey Creek Parkway. In 1932, the park was renamed Jacobus Park after Charles C. Jacobus, a former county supervisor from Wauwatosa. The park, like other locations along the parkway system in Wauwatosa, benefited from depression era relief programs and considerable site work, and in 1936, a pavilion was constructed. The pavilion overlooks a small lagoon. A garage, along with other park improvements, were constructed in Jacobus Park in 1968. A bathhouse and pool were also constructed in the late 1960s.
