title: [The Second Crazy Water Well Drinking Pavilion]
date: 1900?
language: English
description: The small building seen at the right of this picture was the First
 Crazy Well Drinking Pavilion.  The large structure in the center of the
 picture is an early view of the second Pavilion, which was built in
 1900.  
     This picture was taken before its first two floors were
 enclosed.  The Carlsbad pavilion, which was built around 1895 (across NW 1st
 Avenue and west of the Crazy) also appears in several pictures of the area
 around this time.  Its absence in this photograph is probably the result of a
 combination of perspective, angle of picture, and depth-of-view of the
 camera.  
     The Second Pavilion (shown in this photograph) was replaced in
 1909 by the Crazy Flats, which burned in the fire of 1925.  The current Crazy
 Hotel opened in 1927, and occupies the entire city block.  It is now [2003] a
 retirement home.
