Irving Park Gazebo

In the small Irving Park neighborhood which is filled with delightful old homes (see yesterday's post), and which is close to downtown St. Park, there is a well-landscaped central park area.  The central features are a beautiful fountain and this gazebo. A number of young people I know who economized on their wedding held their ceremony and reception there.  A great idea!

"Hear the mellow wedding bells/ Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells/ Through the balmy air of night/ How they ring out their delight!"   Edgar Allan Poe

  9. It certainly looks like a nice place for a wedding. I bet you could really spruce it up with ribbons and flowers!

  10. The name Irving Park is familiar to me, but I can't recall being there. Love those old neighborhoods in the Twin Cities...there's something solidly appealing to them that probably goes back to my childhood.

    I can see why couples would use this park and gazebo for a wedding ceremony!

  11. Lovely structure, (its name here in Mexico is Quiosco) both words are great. And the sounds of Poe are superb!

  13. I have witnessed one wedding ceremony at this very gazebo about 7-8 years ago. Until then, I hadn't realized just how many others have also been married here.
