As Lansdowne Park is located within traditional Algonquin territory, the designers took the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the art, culture and heritage of the Algonquins. Lansdowne has a farmer's market so the paver pattern near the cache was selected to honour the historical importance of baskets in Algonquin culture for the transport and protection of food.
The Aberdeen Pavilion, near where this cache is located, is a National Historic Site of Canada. Built in 1898 by the Dominion Bridge Company, its design was inspired by London's Crystal Palace. The full 1902 Senators hockey season was held in the building, including the Stanley Cup challenges. It was almost demolished in 1991, but was saved after its future became an issue in the 1991 municipal election. It is the oldest surviving example of its type of building in Canada, housing exhibitions of various kinds for over a century. The structure evokes both the festive spirit and serious purpose of the 19th-century fair, with its fanciful and festive architectural decorations such as the dome decorated with swags and garlands, the eclectic classical detail, the corner towers, and the sweeping curved roof with monitor windows, as well as its whimsical mix of classical and agricultural motifs.
This cache is inspired by some fun international micro caches that are in exposed, busy public areas such as SideTracked - Charing Cross and Sporen van vroeger #1 (Amsterdam).
