Three tones of paint, luminous wood flooring, and newly fashioned shoji doors have brought out the details of the historic place of tranquility, which the Piedmont Beautification Foundation moved to the main park in 1974 to replace the original 1907 tea house torn down in the 1920s when the civic center was built. In the spring, the Parks Divison hopes to raise funds to replace the deck surrounding the tea house.
