     History
    Palace Amusements opened in 1888 as a classic Victorian pavillion featuring a carousel with hand-carved wooden horses, giraffes, camels, goats and deer. In 1895, the building was expanded to include a Ferris Wheel. Another expansion in 1903 added a two story structure next to the Ferris Wheel. The ground floor housed a hall of mirrors and the second story was a home for owners of the Palace. It included a parlor, living room, dining room, library, kitchen and bathroom. A final expansion in 1956 added the bumper cars and funhouse areas.
    Palace Amusements closed November 27, 1988.

    Update: The carousel house portion of the building was demolished 5/26/04. The rest of the building was destroyed in the middle of June.

     Future Plans
    A hotel and entertainment complex is planned for the vacant lot where Palace Amusements once stood. The likelihood that the new development will ever be built is slim.
