National Historic District
Although not a historic landmark, this oriental pagoda was inspired by one in Trivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The gargoyles around the building were carved in the 1920's by the carousel craftsmen of the Philadelphia Toboggan Co.. No two are exactly alike. They originally decorated the front of Kennywood Old Mills Boats made by that company. The ceramic roof tiles, made in Ohio, weigh 5 lbs. each, there are 7,312 of them.
