Built on the back of the property of the Fay House while it was owned by the Georgia Hussars, this loggia-like pavilion clad in terra-cotta, with its ogee-arched arcade supported by spiral fluted columns, adds an exotic touch to the Bull Street corridor. Serving briefly as a pharmacy, it was turned into an automobile showroom in 1910.
