Thank you Jill! The building was only dissassembled the one time, to be reassembled in its permanent residence in Sydenham, London. It remained there, until the fire that destroyed it in 1936. After its move and before the destruction, it housed entire soccer matches at one point. The surrounding park had life-sized dinosaurs, huge fountains, and an entire African village complete with its people. It really became the first entertainment park. There is some talk of rebuilding it today, but I don't know how serious that is.
