From 1920-1928, the octagonal Sugarloaf Casino was on the same site. It was a dance pavilion. It was also used as a roller skating rink, school, and restaurant. When it was torn down to make room for the current Casino Building, the steel framework was moved to the Bird Park where it became the main aviary. Sugarloaf Rock at the end of the point was blasted away in March, 1929, to enhance the view of the new Casino building.
