Color postcard depicting the well in Palmer Park, with a sign above reading, "Visitors are Requested Not to Pick Flowers or Big Ferns. T.W. Palmer" and a lake in the background.
Printed on verso: Rustic Drinking Well, Palmer Park. This land was donated to the City by Ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer, in 1893, and is situated north of the city at the extreme terminal of the Woodward Ave. car line; is one of the city's favorite breathing spots. Its center piece is a log cabin, which is an exact reproduction of the home in which Senator Palmer resided when Detroit was little more than a trading post.
