Temple of Love - Maymont - Richmond, Virginia
My favorite view of these structures is not from the outside. But, from a seat in the center of the temple. Looking up.
I have seen these Temples of Love in many Gilded Era estate gardens - perched on the edge of a hill or set lake-side looking up at the house. The seats were perfect, I imagine, for big skirts and fancy suits circa 1910. For teas and picnics. And thankfully, these days, for the derrieres of the hoi polloi.
