Hi all,

Here's another one I recently finished: Inlet Park, one of the early homes for the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants. There's not a whole lot to work from here, and I couldn't find any interior photos. There's also potential for some confusion (or some actual confusion) since there was a different "Inlet Park" that was very nearby and that's listed in Green Cathedrals, but that one seems to have been this one's predecessor. There's also a public space called "Inlet Park", from which I assume the ballpark took its name.

In any case, this is the Inlet Park that's shown in the Sanborn map that I've included below and also shows up on a gorgeous 1920s aerial photo of Atlantic City (also included below). It sat next to a Curtiss airplane facility, which I included a nod to in the models.

This is another Negro League park for folks who are noting those. The next one I post, which is the last one I have finished right now, is Tate Field on Richmond's Mayo Island. No Negro League team called that its official home, but Green Cathedrals called it one of the most frequently-used neutral sites for Negro League games in the east.

Google Drive link to (updated) Inlet Field zip file.
