| A [[Photographic Gallery]] or '''Photo Gallery''' opened at Olentangy Park in [[1906 Season|1906]]. It was "equipped for day and night work."<ref>"Olentangy Park Opens on April 29." ''Columbus Evening Dispatch,'' April 15, 1906. Page 7.</ref> The attraction only lasted a year, burning down in a fire that started in the motion picture building. The one-story frame was "rendered useless," and the fire department estimated the damage to the gallery at $200 ($3,346 in 2024).<ref>"Boy Leads His Two Sisters Out of a Fire at Park." ''Columbus Evening Dispatch,'' July 5, 1907. Page 13.</ref>
