Default Grand Match at the Union Grounds, Brooklyn

I love the woodcuts too. I have a few, but none of those beautiful hand-colored ones.

Here's one that hasn't been posted yet. It is from 1865. The caption reads:

Grand Match between the Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia, and the Resolute Club of Brooklyn, N.Y., Thursday, June 15th, at the Union Ground, Brooklyn



I've always been intrigued by that building standing in the middle of the outfield. Does anyone know what the purpose of that was?
