This is a drawing by Charles Henry Cheney, Berkeley Architect and City Planner, of a proposed "Liberty Square" in downtown Berkeley. The square was never built, but a one-square block park was constructed, which over the years has been called Civic Center Park, Provo Park, and most recently, Martin Luther King Jr. Park.
