A rustic stone pavilion with a thatched roof and rough stone columns stands over a pond in a landscaped garden. Terraced stone walls, winding paths, and garden beds surround the water, and a tall smokestack rises beyond trees and fields in the distance. The scene has the look of an ornamental park or estate ground from the early 20th century, when rough stone pavilions were built to give public gardens a picturesque, handmade character.
