1890's Historic Lindell Pavilion in St. Louis Forrest Park.
"Lindell Railway Company built the Lindell Pavilion as a shelter for visitors who took the streetcar to Forest Park for a day's relxation away from the city. The building was remodelled in 1914 as a golf and rennis locker room and pro shop. After a 1925 fire, the pavilion was rebuilt with only part of the original tower remaining. In 2003, the pavilion underwent extensive renovations and reopened as the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education center." Plaque in front of the building.
