Squirrel Hollow Park
Historic district
Ten park structures are included in the historic district, of which three are contributing buildings and seven are contributing structures. They were designed by the Central Design Office at Iowa State College, now Iowa State University, and built by the Civil Works Administration, Works Progress Administration, and the Public Works Administration between 1934 and 1936. The three buildings are a shelter house and two latrines. The 36 by 20.5 feet (11.0 by 6.2 m) shelter house features old mill stones in the center of the concrete floor. The structures include two fireplaces located east of the shelter house, the stone retaining wall on the east bank of the Raccoon River, two entrance portals along the county access road, a ball diamond, and the gravel road system.
