The owner of this early 20th century Tudor styled residence wished to have a screened porch for entertaining. An underutilized courtyard space between a guesthouse and the original home was partially filled by a new timber-framed screened pavilion featuring an outdoor fireplace, fountain, and push-button retractable screens.

On the back side of the fireplace is the fountain, which graces the modified courtyard (now more enclosed) with a visual focal point and the pleasing sound of falling water. The fountain and basin has a cast stone surround and cast stone lion fountain head. The field on the fountain wall is of terra cotta tile in a herringbone pattern.
