Avon Isle, Historic dance pavilion in Avon, United States.
Avon Isle is a sandstone dance pavilion in Avon, Ohio, measuring roughly 50 by 70 feet with French Colonial style features including a low hip roof and columned porches. The structure was designed for social gatherings and dancing, and its open layout remains largely unchanged from its original construction.
The pavilion was built around 1920 during a period when dance halls and social venues were in high demand across the region. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, recognizing its value as a preserved example from that era.
From the 1920s through the 1970s, the venue hosted numerous social gatherings and performances, including shows by Guy Lombardo.
The site accommodates roughly 150 seated guests and offers 72 parking spaces for visitors. The flat terrain and open structure allow easy access, and basic seating arrangements with tables and chairs remain available for events.
When neighboring cities prohibited Sunday dancing, this venue became the primary destination for weekend entertainment for people across the entire region. Its location beyond local restrictions made it a special gathering place for social life.
