Verna Cook Garvan Pavilion

The internationally acclaimed architecture firm of E. Fay Jones and Maurice Jennings designed this open-air pavilion in the tradition of Fay's mentor, Frank Lloyd Wright. A stellar example of this firm's signature style, the pavilion inspires all who see it with an intriguing structural system of 2" x 6" redwood trusses and columns. This unique wooden framework appears far too inconsequential to support a cedar shake roof 42 feet in diameter and crowned by a 50-foot tall ornamental iron spire, creating drama on a grand scale. Viewers standing directly under the central opening are treated to the kaleidoscopic pattern of sky against metal this architectural work of art creates. Providing a wonderful vantage point as it rises seven feet above the rose garden lawn on a native stone terrace, the Verna Cook Garvan Pavilion offers the perfect spot to pause and enjoy the natural beauty of Hot Springs and Garvan Woodland Gardens.
