Student project for a lakeside pavilion

1884

- A student project for an ornate lakeside pavilion described in elevation, plan, and section. The pavilion, a richly decorated aedicular structure surmounted by a tall, mansard cupola, stands on a rusticated stone terrace connected to the shore by a double flight of stairs. Docking facilities for pleasure craft are housed within the terrace and are connected with the pavilion above by curved internal stairs. At the corners on one side of the terrace are two jets of water rising to the height of the pavilion's pediments.
