The round stone thing was a carousel house that's where the carousel was and I know that they tore it down there but at least they never destroyed it completely they just relocated it saving the theater and carousel house
When original Elitch Gardens was destroyed, so went the last threads of my childhood. I mean, for years, I grew up 3 blocks from Elitch's, heard the screams and rumbling of Mr. Twister when my brother and I went to bed; spent many a summer there all day long, riding my beloved Splinter log flume over and over. Now, a part of me is dead forever.
The round building was a carrousel. Note the tall roofline, and the circular floor. Typical of a carrousel house. A similar one existed at Whalom Park.
@georgef551 Thanks for the video reply. It's too bad that Whalom Park went away. In California, Frontier Village fell victim to declining visits back in 1980. There are some videos from that park here on You Tube. My hunch was right about the round building being a Carousel at one time, however; it had already been gone by the time I visited the park in 1990. It was a picnic area by that time.

@NEXPAR
At least they (Elitch Gardens) had another use for the structure.
The Carrousel House at Whalom was supsed to have been saved, but it ultimately was taken down. I guess it was in too rough shape to save.
