A gazebo?


Historic Summit Avenue has many beautiful and imposing old houses lining the street.  Last September I showed you a fancy gate and unusual fence (here and here) surrounding one of the homes. Recently I found a way to check inside the property and discovered this sculpture and benches.  Pretty fancy and rather small for a gazebo, but I don't know how else to label it.  Whatever it is called, it is unusual, but that's Summit Avenue!!
The November 1 theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is "Heights."

  2. In dutch we call it a "prieeltje", an open seat in the garden with a roof to protect you for sun or rain. This is a very nice one.

  3. Maybe the roof was replaced with this work of art? Interesting

  4. Is that iron on the top? Must need an annual paint job.

  10. Very nice! I can see sitting in the chairs while listening to a grandchild recite a poem, story, or music piece, from inside the gazebo! A refining experience for them I would think!

  11. I can imagine a couple of adults in the chairs and a small group of little children in their Sunday best having a polite tea party.

  13. Whatever it's for, it brings beauty to the garden. The picture has a peaceful look to it.

  14. Grace got here first. I was going to say that attractive structures with no special function were called "follies," especially in Victorian times.

  15. I would label it a gazebo also. I always marvel at the architecture and adornments on Summit Avenue.
