Pavilions, gazebos, follies and similar light buildings that stand in parks and gardens or on estates for leisure, shade, view and show rather than for everyday use. A building belongs here when its cited article describes it as a pavilion, a gazebo, a baradari, a folly or a close relative of these. It excludes bandstands and other structures made for staged performances, which sit with the performance venues, and ordinary houses.
