JUDGING PAVILION

Built: 1924-25

Architect: Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson

Contractor: Thomas Sloss


Planning for a judging pavilion was discussed in 19211 but it was 1924 before work on the building was started. Bids were received in September of that year.2 All bids exceeded the $18,000 appropriated and were rejected. The following month an additional $2,000 was made available and the construction of the building was made a project for Superintendent Sloss and his department.

The pavilion was completed by October 1925 when funds were allocated for fencing of the adjacent areas.3

In 1931 President Hughes reported that “the Judging Pavilion had been remodeled somewhat in order to make it serviceable for public speaking.”4
