the pavilion

The Dance Hall atop Hibriten Mountain, circa 1915. Colorized. This popular image shows two people in the tower of the Dance Hall.
What is known is that frequent gatherings and dances were held in the pavilion, thought to be located at the very top of the mountain.
Consisting of two floors, plus a ‘crows nest’ perched at its top (see image), the wooden structure was used by families and week-long excursions for local business. The entertainment held there was said to be heard for miles.
