Anecdotal Information
2921-2935 Rivermont was the original site of Rivermont Park. The park, which also had various entertainment venues such as vaudeville and a roller coaster, was included in the original plans of the Rivermont Company in the 1890s. In these plans, Rivermont Park was the terminus of the Rivermont streetcar line. The park lost popularity in the 1920s and was replaced by Riverside Park in the 2200 block of Rivermont.
