Banff National Park Pavilion
[6] A row of art glass windows[1] ran the entire length of the wall opposite the main entrance, and three cobblestone[6] fireplaces featured on the remaining three.[10] Built on the shore of the Bow River, on swampy ground, the pavilion was subject to flooding,[11] severe frost,[6] and consequent decay.Those plans were overseen by locals and approved by Banff residents after a public meeting at the National Park Theatre."[3]Years later, in July 1920, the Banff Crag and Canyon reported of the building and grounds that; "They are neither ornamental nor useful—except as a standing monument to the incapacity of Parks Commissioner Harkin."[4]Nevertheless, the building was reasonably popular with local residents, and in the last thirty years, interest has grown in the structure and Wright's short-lived career and legacy in Canada.
