This 80 year old concrete sub shelter is in very good condition. It is made of three trees on a sculpted base. Each tree has different sculpted bench. One bench is a large stump with the tree growing out of the middle of it. The middle bench may be a sculpted flower with the edges of the four large pedals sagging over. The last bench is a six-inch slab cross section of a larger tree with several bark legs. The single 'thatched' canopy is supported but the many branches of each tree.
