I give you: The Leschi Park Pavilion. This mammoth building was opened in 1890 by John Cort as a terminus of the Yesler Ave cable car line. At the time, Leschi Park was a an amusement area with a zoo, casino, bandstand, gardens, and boathouse. The pavilion, mainly used for dancing, was popular up until the 1920’s when it started to deteriorate. In 1929 a smaller brick building was constructed and the pavilion was destroyed a year later. Give the images a look.
