A more modern brick building was added to this wooden pavilion in 1909; both structures are visible in pictures taken during a Woodmen of the World convention in 1911. (Note: when the second Carlsbad Pavilion shut down during World War II, the newer Carlsbad building was taken over by the Crazy Hotel for its Laundry and Dry Cleaning.)
