Vinings Pavilion

Vinings was the ideal spot for the Western & Atlantic railroad to build an open air recreation hall in 1864, on the corner of Mountain Street and Ranch Road. It was a popular destination for young couples who would come from Atlanta by train or carriage to picnic and dance away the day until the early 1900s.
In the mid-1940's Hardy Pace's great-great granddaughter Earle Carter Smith bought the Pavilion. Windows were added and the Pavilion served as home to Atlanta's finest antique dealers until the Vinings Historic Preservation Society rescued it from destruction in 1995. In 1996, the Pavilion was moved to its current location alongside the Pace House. (Information from Vinings Historic Preservation Society)
