I wrote this article a hurry when it was requested on Talk:Mistley Towers when that article was on the front page. This page probably wants renaming, or perhaps becoming the main paragraph of Pavilion which is currently a disambiguation page. I leave it some-one who knows about these things to decide. Either way its a terrible title but I could think of no other English equivelent word besides Casino which in itself is an ambiguation to differentiate it from the other types of pavilion on the disambiguation page.

Casino, in the english use refers almost exclusively to the gambling facility, and does not infer the type of structure. As an architect, I can testify that the word Pavillion describes very closely what you have defined. In America, it has come to mostly mean an attached structure of significance that is connected directly to the larger building envelope. It is used less and less for detached structures with their own envelopes, or for sporting venues and open-air garden structures, which are all being called gazebos even when they are not.
