          In conjunction with Jens Jensen's grand, prairie landscape design for the park, Van Bergen intended these building to blend in using natural materials, including stratified limestone walls and cedar shingle roofs.  To Jensen's disappointment, Van Bergen's design was not built.  A pavilion was later built as designed by other architects but is not in unity with Jensen's vision.
