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.
