ST. LOUIS Tower Grove Park will begin work to revitalize two historic pavilions with a nearly $1 million preservation that will add lighting, improve accessibility and restore the structures.
The Turkish Pavilion and Old Playground Pavilion are signature landmarks from the Victorian era and almost 150 years old.
“Our collection of pavilions is one of the defining characteristics of Tower Grove Park,” executive director Bill Reininger said. “It’s crucial we restore them now so they last another 150 years.”
