The toy store was formally located in the building that is currently the Christmas store.  It did extend to there with a deck.  You can still see the small-sized door for kids to enter the store (on the treehouse side).

I would like to see it rehabbed and re-opened so my kids could enjoy it. It was always one of my favorites at the City. I started going to SDC in the early 80's and I remember the "cave" being called Injun Joe's Cave.

I believe it was 2006 when I first took my boys and wife to SDC (I had been there as a boy in the late 70's, early 80's) Huck Finn's tree house was open...My boys and I both enjoyed going up the tree and into the tree house...That next year it was closed...We've mourned the closing of it ever since and were hoping it would reopen someday...kills us still seeing the tree barricaded...

no doubt the tree fort is one of the landmarks of the city!  And "MOST" of us miss it..

Growing up as a kid in the early 90's, the beginning part of our day at SDC ALWAYS consisted of: Grandfathers Mansion, Huck Finns Hideout, Ballroom, Baloon Chase.

At least I can still experence Grandfathers Mansion!  :-\

I didn't realize it was that recent that it closed. Who do I email to tell them I want it resurrected?
