The pavilion was designed by Qian Zhuangfei, with Liang Botai serving as the engineering supervisor. Construction began on August 1, 1933, and was completed in January 1934. The entire structure features an elegant and classic Chinese architectural style, embodying a timeless charm. At the time, several major commemorative buildings for the Red Army had been erected in Yeping Square, attracting many visitors. As a result, the pavilion was equipped with wooden benches and stone tables and pedestals to provide resting spots for tourists.
In October 1934, after the main forces of the Red Army embarked on the Long March, the Red Army Martyrs' Memorial Pavilion was demolished by reactionary forces, and even the red strip stones used for the base were taken away to build fortifications elsewhere. In the spring of 1955, the pavilion was restored to its original appearance. The inscription “Red Army Martyrs' Memorial Pavilion” was replicated in the same font as that of the “Red Army Martyrs' Memorial Tower.” On March 4, 1961, the pavilion was designated as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
