Description
The McFadden Cabin was built by a City Park benefactor in the 1920’s as a recreational facility for New Orleans Girl Scouts (still in use today). The WPA made improvements as part of its many works projects in the park, which had been recently expanded when the New Deal came into being. A plaque was placed in the stonework at that time.
