Gazebo - 300 West Grand St.
|
|||||||
The Gazebo, is in Maple Park Cemetery, on Grand Street between Jefferson and Campbell. It is a unique example of an ornamental structure and a longtime feature of the cityscape. An octagonal pavilion with a concrete floor, capped with an onion shaped dome, the Gazebo has been used as a bandstand and a shelter for public speakers. A circle drive surrounds the lacy Gazebo and many fine old trees grace the area. Construction date is undetermined, but late nineteenth century origin is indicated by construction. The cemetery association was organized in 1876. Maple Park Cemetery is a privately owned association and is the final resting place of many prominent Springfieldians. Architectural style: Saracenic Approved: 8/5/74 |
