Dancing pavilion at Bo-Lo, Bois Blanc Island, Detroit River.
"

Boblo Island Amusement Park was an amusement park which ran from 1898 to 1993 Bois Blanc Island in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada. Henry Ford financed a dance hall that was the second largest in the world. Designed by Detroit architect Albert Khan, and constructed of steel and stone, the east side of the building featured a tall cathedral-like glass wall. Construction was started in 1912 and was completed in time for the opening of the park's 1913 season. The building housed the largest dance floor in North America until the Crystal Ballroom was opened at Crystal Beach. It held 5,000 dancers at full capacity and featured one of the world's largest orchestrions from the Welte company: a 16 foot tall, 14 foot wide, self-playing orchestra with 419 pipes and percussion section.
