From Richard Flint #15

15 – A new or refurbished wagon rolls out of the shop in this April 1927 shot by Frank Updegrove. It was one of the last to be worked on in Bridgeport as the show would move at the end of the 1927 season into buildings on the Sarasota fairgrounds that John Ringling purchased. The move was very practical as the longtime lease of the Bridgeport land owned by Barnum’s estate was to finally expire. In 1934 the City of Bridgeport acquired the land for park use and named it Wendt Park for the City’s park commissioner.
