❑ DESCRIPTION
TIMBER AND METAL
✓ Pavilion, light temporary or
semipermanent structure used in SECTION
gardens and pleasure grounds.
✓ Although there are many variations, the basic type is a large, light, airy garden room with a high-
peaked roof resembling a canopy. It was originally erected, like the modern canvas marquee, for special
occasions such as fetes, garden banquets, and balls, but it became more permanent, and by the late 17th
century the word was used for any garden building designed for use on special occasions.
✓ Pavilion has also been used in reference to a tent, a summer residence, a dance hall, a bandstand, and an annex
or structure connected to a larger building.
✓ It may also describe a projecting subdivision of a monumental building, notably the central or end bays of a
Classical facade.
