Description
Old trolly stop in Central Park
Constructed in 1871, the Ladies Pavilion is a cast-iron structure that was razed as a shelter for people waiting for the trolley at 8th Avenue and 59th Street. Now a part of the expansive Central Park, the pavilion found a new home after being moved to make way for development in 1912.
The Ladies Pavilion was designed by Jacob Wrey Mould, and was created in a style common for the era. The pavilion's roof is made of gray slate and ironwork, noting the intricacies that went into something found in an industrial town in the late 1800s. Now, the Ladies Pavilion serves as a quite place of solace in the midst of Central Park.
