Washington Park Pavilion - A special bungalow!


These images show the bungalow architecture of the Washington Park Pavilion!

The top postcard contains this message handwritten on the front:
"Remember the afternoon we all spent here!"

Many residents of the West Side Neighborhood Association are active visitors to our wonderful Washington Park and its bungalow inspired pavilion. The Springfield Park district says this about the Pavilion:


"The Washington Park Pavilion was built around 1900 as an elegant cobble stone event lodge complete with a grand ballroom, kitchen and dining room. Originally, there was an oval balcony upstairs that overlooked the ballroom complete with finished wood railings and beautiful wood floors. The two story pavilion has an open, oversized portico with a scenic view of the duck pond."
