The Music Pagoda is an octagonal-shaped structure, with columns in groups of two and three, built in 1887 just west of the Nethermead, Prospect Park’s wide central lawn. Its base consists of rocks and boulders that were removed from Sullivan Hill, which lies east of the Ravine along Long Meadow. Until the 1960s, the Pagoda was a major concert and theatre venue, but the park’s concert organizers now use the Bandshell, built by Robert Moses in 1939, near Prospect Park West and 10th Street. The Pagoda burned down in 1968, but was rebuilt as a nearly exact replica in 1971.
I wonder what can be found behind the door on the bottom…
