The Shakspeare Pavilion at Stratford-on-Avon, 1864. Creator: Unknown

The Shakspeare Pavilion at Stratford-on-Avon, 1864. Building celebrating the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth, ...designed by Messrs. Thompson and Colbourne...the contractors are Messrs. Branson and Murray, of Birmingham; and Mr. Brothers, of Leamington, provides the internal decorations... The exterior, as may be seem in our Engraving, makes no pretensions to architectural beauty. It is but a wooden pavilion for the occasion of a single week. Yet it is well suited to the purpose, and substantial of its kind. Twenty thousand cubic feet of timber, twelve tons of wrought iron, and four tons of nails, have been used in its construction. It is of timber, on a foundation of masonry; in form twelve-sided, 152 ft. in diameter, besides the approaches, and surmounted with a lantern for light and ventilation. The main roof is constructed of twelve framed principals, bolted to the upright timbers, with no horizontal tie, but with a strong continuous band of iron all round the circumference of the building, to resist the outward and downward thrust of the roof. The stairs to approach the galleries are 10 ft. in width, and are placed outside the building, to give as much space as possible inside'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
