The Pioneer Square Pergola

Arts & Culture
18
In 1909, this ornamental glass and cast iron pergola provided shelter at the Northwest’s first comfort station, a place featuring modern conveniences such as public restrooms. In 2002, the pergola was extensively damaged when a truck failed to safely navigate its turn. Rebuilt out of the original fragments, the pergola has been restored to its original splendor.
