DESIGN FOR MEMORIAL BANDSTAND IN A PARK, CLEVELAND, O. 
F. W. Striebinger, Arch. 
Memorial Band Stand for a Cleveland ParK. 
The memorial band stand illustrated herewith 
from the architect’s drawing, is to be erected in one 
of the parks of Cleveland O., in memory of Conrad 
Mi^er, the nban who originated open air concerts in 
that city. The city has appropriated $i,ooo toward 
the work and an additional sum has been raised by 
private subscriptions. 
The structure was designed by Architect F. W. 
Striebinger, of Cleveland, who is also secretary of 
the iMemorial Association. 
Mr. Striebinger also prepared an alternate design 
for a monument to Mr. Mizer which is illustrated 
herewith. 
The design for the band stand represents a struc- 
ture measuring thirty-five feet square with the floor 
about five feet above the surrounding grade and ap- 
proached from the four sides. The foundation will 
be of stone with mosaic floor and the superstructure 
of cypress wood, painted white. The stand will ac- 
commodate about forty-five musicians. 
The alternate design is simpler and proposed 
purely as a monument. There is an exedra, 20x25 
feet with seats along the two sides and a sarcopha- 
gus at one end built of granite with a brick die to 
bear a bronze memorial tablet. The two formal trees 
indicated could of course be replaced by shrubbery.
