about the Lily Pond Shelter

Designed by Eugene L. Greenleaf in 1872, this pavilion has an eclectic style, combining some classical features with curvilinear scrollwork tracery and brackets. Although small, it is elaborately ornamented with pierced scrollwork on brackets, spandrels, and gables, with ironwork along the roof ridge. It is painted gold, brown, and green.
