The original Peirce Pavilion was built in 1880 at the northeast corner of Main and Spring Streets around a major sulphur spring. Those sulphur springs made the growth of Clifton Springs Sanitarium possible and in turn made Clifton Springs famous. Andrew Peirce, a retired railroad executive, donated the original pavilion to the sanitarium in gratitude for the care given his invalid wife. The original pavilion was razed in 1961 because of deterioration. Peirce Pavilion II, a true replica of the original pavilion, was erected using timber frame construction. New Energy Works of Shortsville, New York, designed and built the structural frame with old growth Douglas fir timbers from a circa 1910 sawmill in Washington. The weathervane and red sandstone curbing on the west side came from the original pavilion, and sulphur water from the original spring was piped to the central fountain in Peirce Pavilion II. This pavilion was donated to Clifton Springs Park by Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Morris. The land for the park was transferred in cooperation with the Clifton Springs Hospital and Clinic, original owner of the twelve acres, and G.W. Lisk Co., Inc. Other park facilities were made possible by the Clifton Springs Rotary Club, the Village of Clifton Springs, G.W. Lisk Co., Inc., and village citizens who donated their time to the project.
