It was designed by Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. After the Fair, even as most of the Fair was burned or torn down, the garden and the Ho-O Den Pavilion remained intact.
For the 1933 Century of Progress, the government of Japan, constructed a traditional Nippon Tea House at the Century of Progress World's Fair and also created a garden on Jack Park’s Wooded Island's northeast side and refurbished the Ho-O Den.
Shortly after the start of the Second World War, the buildings were destroyed by fire and the garden was virtually abandoned....
