Editor’s Note:  There once was a pier as part of the Ross Pavilion which was a private bathing facility  built in the late 1800’s. The North End pier was destroyed in a storm in the 1930’s and never rebuilt.  The Ross Pavilion had some concessions and an auditorium and a  bandstand. Later the North End Hotel ( 1911-1978) was built.  There was also a South End pavilion —-PG

CARLY SIMON :       from her album  Into White    Stephen  Foster wrote Oh Susannah in 1848,  It was one of the most popular songs ever written, and it was probably played at the Ross Pavilion.
