Picnic Shelter / Pavilion

The following character-defining elements of the Picnic Shelter Pavilion should be respected.

Its traditional style with cottage-like character and quality craftsmanship, for example:

-the simple, geometric massing that consists of a one-storey, octagonal, hipped roof structure;

-the horizontal emphasis of the symmetrical facades as illustrated by the horizontally-lain wood siding and the ribbons of windows;

-the simple materials and details such as, the wide window and door trim, and wood fascia and soffit; and,

-the large interior volume of space.

The manner in which the building maintains an unchanged relationship to its site, its compatibility with the picturesque character of the fort and its setting, and also its familiarity as a landmark, as evidenced by:

-its ongoing relationship to its simple turf-grassed site nestled into the rolling terrain along the coast;

-its physical compatibility with other support facilities which together create a picturesque group adjaced to the ruins in the national historic site of Canada; and -the building’s use as a support facility frequented by visitors to the national historic site of Canada.
