In 1917-1918 the inland portion of Sugar Loaf point was dynamited and rocks removed by the Santa Catalina Island Company, to make way for the construction of the first Sugar Loaf Casino (1918-1928). Wrigley soon realized the building was too small to accommodate the growing visitation to the island, thus the first casino, Sugar Loaf Casino, Santa Catalina Island was demolished to make room for a grand Sugar Loaf Casino, Santa Catalina Island. The octagonal steel frame of the first dance pavilion was reassembled at Catalina Bird Park to make "the world's largest bird cage. As the walls of the new casino dwarfed the venerable Sugar Loaf rock, in March of 1929 the rock was blasted away to improve the view of the magnificent new casino building.
