This 1950s building currently houses the cafe Le Pain Quotidien.
The original structure, designed by Park co-designer Calvert Vaux, was a richly decorated pavilion in the Moorish style. Inside, the centerpiece was an ornate marble counter with silver faucets dispensing various mineral waters. Many 19th-century physicians believed these waters had numerous health benefits.
