Banff National Park Pavilion, Prairie School structure in Banff National Park, Canada.
The pavilion featured a wooden frame with stone walls, three cobblestone fireplaces, and large art glass windows offering views of Sulphur Mountain.
Frank Lloyd Wright and Francis Conroy Sullivan designed this pavilion in 1911, which was completed in 1914 and served as a military storage during World War I.
The structure represented the Prairie School architecture through horizontal lines and natural materials, marking Canada's only public building by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The pavilion operated exclusively in summer months due to lack of heating systems, leading to local criticism about its functionality in Canadian winters.
Recent reconstruction efforts involve digital reverse engineering through analysis of historical photographs, rock colors, and timber gathering methods.
