NOTES
Additional Information:The Smith Park Pavilion was constructed by the WPA in 1938 in a Colonial Revival style. It is rectangular in plan with stone veneered walls and an asphalt-shingled gable roof with slight eave returns and a dentilated cornice board. The building is built into a rise so that the front (west) elevation rises 1-story in height while the east elevation rises to 2 stories. The west elevation is asymmetrical in plan with a projecting entry bay capped by a front-gable roof that is supported by paired columns at the front corners. Another entrance is located at the north end of the west elevation. Both entrances are flanked by what were, presumably, window openings (or possibly additional doorways) that have since been enclosed. Windows are a variety of multi-pane double-hung and fixed-sash windows, some of which are covered by original storm windows. A massive stone chimney projects from the roof peak at the south end of the building. The east (2-story) elevation is further defined by a projecting bay window and curved, stone retaining walls that project from the building at the north and west sides.
