The gazebo has a concrete base and has eight rectangular wood pillars holding up a wooden roof with dark gray shingles. Decorative wood shakes are located in the four eaves of the gazebo with a wooden cross over top of the wood shakes in all four eaves.

In the center of the gazebo's concrete floor is a concrete inset with the following inscription:

In Memoriam
Edna E. Tryon
June 1868
March 18, 1924

It is not clear if this is her gravesite or simply a memorial to her.

The following information about Edna E. Tryon is from the Find A Grave website:
