Inscription. The Rotary Pavilion was built in 2012 with funds generously provided by members of the Union City Rotary Club. The structure was modeled after the Blueband Roundhouse located at Reelfoot Lake. The Roundhouse was a popular weekend destination for teenagers during the 1950s-1960s, and people would visit from miles away. Featuring a jukebox and concession stand, it would fill with young people every Friday and Saturday night.
