Additional Description: In the 1930's, Carolyn Cortner Smith, one of Alabama's first women to work as an architect, was "loaned" to the WPA to lead the Delano Park improvement and construction projects. The signature stone structures which she designed remain today and are a rich aspect to the park's historic character. A woman of genius and unflagging courage, Smith left an important legacy as a pioneer in the field of architecture and historic preservation in Alabama.
