The Historic Phoebus Gazebo is Saved!

The historic Phoebus gazebo has been moved!! Thank you!!

The late Victorian structure was built in 1913 and served as an off-site club for Fort Monroe officers from its construction until World War II. The gazebo housed bands who played as guests danced on the wooden dance floors around it. 

The building is on a concrete foundation with wood frame and ornamental wood inset panels supporting a hipped composition shingle roof with decorative brackets, exposed rafter tails, and a projecting cupola with pyramidal copper roof and copper gutters.

The fundraiser will help with the costs involved in moving the gazebo to a safe location where restoration will begin with the goal to get the necessary permissions and permits to move it to a public space in Phoebus later in 2020 or early 2021.
