GRECIAN SHELTER, PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN, N. Y. 
Two ParR SRelters of Marble. 
The new shelter recently erected at Prospect Park, 
Brooklyn, shown in the illustration, is a marble per- 
gola and is a copy of a Greek temple in its design. The 
structure is seventy-three feet long and twenty-seven 
feet wide, and its ornate roof is supported by marble 
columns sixteen feet high, with Corinthian columns. 
The ground surrounding the shelter has been laid out 
as a flower garden. Seats are provided inside the shelter, 
and near it, from which visitors may view the parade 
ground on one side ; on the other, passing vehicles on 
the driveway. The cost of the shelter was $30,000. 
A combined' pergola and fountain of Italian marble 
has recently been placed in Como Park, St, Paul, Minn., 
as a gift of the Mannheimer Corporation. The foun- 
tain was designed by Architect Cass Gilbert and is 
fashioned after a famous Italian fountain. The foun- 
tain has been inclosed in an Italian pergola. Vines 
will be trained over it and shrubbery will be planted 
about the base and back of the marble seats. The site 
of the fountain is one of the most beautiful in the park. 
It is on a rise of Cozy Lake avenue, just opposite the 
lily pond and is approached by a long flight of steps. 
The site was selected for its peculiar beauty by Mr. 
Nussbaumer, superintendent of parks.
