Balboa Pavilion
Type: Historical Sites
Status: Open
When this waterfront landmark was built in 1905 by the Newport Investment Company, it was an open-air building with a Victorian-era balustrade edging the second floor. On July 4, 1906, the Pacific Electric Railway extended their'Big Red Car' service to the Balboa Peninsula, and the pavilion became the hub of the investment company's land-development effort. Over the years the cupola on the building has become a navigational aid.
