The pavilion is ornamented with relief sculptures in each corner by Bela
Lyon Pratt (1867-1917). The sculptures represent Spring ("Plant,") Summer
("Bloom,") Autumn ("Seed,") and Winter ("Decay".) Murals by the artist
George Willoughby Maynard (1878-1934) ornament the walls and ceiling.
In the domed ceiling, the artist has depicted the four stages in the
development of a nation: Courage, Valor, Fortitude, and Achievement. Each
relates to a corresponding wall mural representing the historical sequence:
Adventure, Discovery, Conquest, and
Civilization. In this sequence, Adventure leads to Discovery,
which in turn results in Conquest, and finally Civilization.
