1897. City Park, Riverton; travel south of Shenandoah on US 59, then west on route J46 to Riverton
  • Chautauqua Pavilion (David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim)

This open Chautauqua pavilion was placed in a clearing in a broad wooded park. The building is dominated by a steeply pitched, segmented shingled roof that seems to hover above the supporting thin wood columns to the wood lintel beams above. About two-thirds of the way up the slope, the broad roof exhibits a slight inward bend that adds to its charming hatlike quality.
