Abita Springs Pavilion

National Register of Historic Places

Built for the 1884 World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition in New Orleans, then relocated to Abita Springs when the fair ended. It has stood at the north end of Main Street ever since — a Victorian-era structure that outlasted the fair that built it, the resort era that sustained it, and multiple hurricanes. NRHP-listed.
