Pavilion
This whimsical pavilion stands on the site of the famed Bellevue House and incline (demolished). built in 1955, when outdoor dancing was the rage, this free-form stone building consists of a circular domed core with a flat cantilevered roof extending over a recessed bandstand and dancing area. Three mushroom-shaped concrete pergolas, each with a canopy of open grillwork supported by a cluster of columns. One of the last park buildings designed by R. Carl Freund, this pavilion reflects the 1950s and the undeniable influence of Frank Lloyd Wright's late work and the organic approach to architecture. (For more about the architect, see appendix.)
