I was under the impression that it had been "updated" at some point. <br /><br />It does have a new roof. The modern profile batten-seam metal shown in the 2011 pics is quite different from the indeterminate material visible in the oldest pics, and not at all like any historic product from the era depicted, but still looks appropriate.<br /><br />It's one of those neat little structures that is so well suited to it's purpose that you don't even notice it. <br /><br />Were there historic models used to develop the look or was this just dreamed up out of whole cloth by Imagineers?<br /><br />It seems like there must have been boarding docks and quays for commercial steamboats, but I have no idea what they would be like, so this Victorian loggia looks plausible.<br /><br />Thank you, Dave.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-37847875481106936462013-08-06T07:30:19.982-07:002013-08-06T07:30:19.982-07:00The top of the Jungle Cruise boathouse and Pavilio...The top of the Jungle Cruise boathouse and Pavilion restaurant roofline are visible in the first photo's horizon. Nice!<br /><br />Love the Steamboat/Sailing Ship ticket booth. Don't think I've ever seen that before. New discoveries. I love it!K.
