In 2001, a truck accidentally crashed into the historic pergola, causing significant damage, but it was meticulously restored to its original condition.
The pergola was constructed in 1909 as a shelter for passengers waiting for the cable car.
The structure is made of cast iron and glass, showcasing the architectural style of the early 20th century.
The pergola is a designated Seattle landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was originally part of a larger project to beautify Pioneer Square and improve public transportation facilities.
After the 2001 accident, the restoration involved using original blueprints to ensure historical accuracy.
Pioneer Square, where the pergola is located, was a bustling hub during the Klondike Gold Rush, attracting many prospectors.
