Helmle and Huberty design a crescent-shaped shelter pavilion with two comfort stations for Winthrop Park
The pavilion was the first of three major additions to Winthrop Park, today's McGolrick Park, over 29 years. Brick and limestone, it has a wood colonnade joining two buildings, each a comfort station, one for men and one for women. The design by Helmle and Huberty was meant to evoke 17th and 18th century French garden structures.

October 19
The Landmarks Preservation Commission designates the McGolrick Park shelter pavilion a landmark
The commission designated the shelter pavilion and its attached buildings a landmark on October 19, 1966, after a February 8 hearing at which witnesses spoke in favor and no one opposed; the Parks Department also favored designation. It called the pavilion an attractive focal point in a small park, with a scale, proportion and detail that made it more than a convenience.
“The Park Department favors designation. ... The Commission further finds ... this Pavilion serves not only as a worthy convenience but as an attractive feature of this park.”
