Photographer’s Note

This is the Tea House located at the Moore-Turner Heritage Garden on the lower south hill, The garden was reopen in 2007 after restoration it was found after 65 years after a ice storm in 1998.

From: Moore-Turner Heritage Garden pamphlet.

The Tea House was displayed prominently in an April 26, 1914 article in The Spokesman-Review noting the gardens were the "Scene of All Saints' Rose Fete" organized by the women of All Saints' Cathedral. Seven of the eight Tea House footings were discovered and excavated in 2006. The original footings, a historic photograph with a partial view of the Tea House, and photographic images appearing in several 1914 Spokesman-Review articles were used to reconstruct the structure.

Hi Jason,

An interesting story about this little tea gazebo. You definitely caught a good little piece of history here and very well. The setting for this former tea house must had been beautiful in its time. Good sharpness and colours. Thanks Jason :-)

Hello Jason,

A nice place with a beautiful edifice. The POv and the framing are very well selected. But here I like especially the very good management of light which gives tenders colours and pleasnt play of shade and light. Good job.
Best regards,
Roger

Hi Jason,
A charming little structure that is captured in very effective light.
Looks well worth restoring. I must say I'm very impressed with Spokane's city parks.
Regards, Tom

Hi jason, this is sublime, quiet and tucked away from the world. I like the surrounding and the mood here

Hi Jason,
So who stole the table and chairs, pretty hard to enjoy a hot cuppa if you've got to stand up :))
I continue to be amazed by the quality of the images you are getting out of that new camera, have to tell you I'm pretty jealous.
Regards
Peter
