    The Temple in the Music Concourse, dedicated on September 9, 1900, is the third bandstand to grace Golden Gate Park. Claus Spreckels (the German-born Sugar King) gave $75,000 (millions today) towards the $78,810 cost of the building. The Italian Renaissance style arcade has an acoustically reflective coffered shell standing 70 feet high and covered in Colusa Sandstone. It suffered damage in the 1906 earthquake (much of its Colusa sandstone cornices, balustrades and corners collapsed), and was rebuilt a third time in 1995 after the 1989 earthquake. The Golden Gate Park Band, an institution since 1882, and guests provide free concerts 25 Sundays each year.
