The Electric Park Pavilion is a pavilion located in Blackwell, Oklahoma, designed in 1912 by W.L. McAltee.[2] The pavilion was built as a "salute to electricity" and features a 160-foot domed ceiling, and an 800-seat auditorium.[3] The building was once lined with over 500 lights, on the dome, its 27 flag poles with American flags, and its 22 arched windows.[2] The Mission/Spanish Revival style building is made of brick and stucco, and was dedicated on March 23, 1913.[3]
