Note
Notes: "By May 20, the owners had met with construction engineers on costs and building time and the debris of the old Pavilion including four pianos, 400 pairs of roller skates, countless broken bulbs and melted glass had been cleaned from the site. A new auditorium to show films was planned but never materialized due to the interference from the Village Council" - Kit lane in the book, "Saugatuck's Big Pavilion."
