The Garten Verein Pavilion is located in Kempner Park on the northwest corner of 27th Street and Avenue O, in a predominantly residential neighborhood of Galveston. It is a frame structure, octagonal in shape. The building consists of a central section with a roof which slopes to a center peak and is topped by a cupola. Three square openings, now closed, are on each of the right sides. On the interior, the central section encompasses the exposed rafters of the building. The actual pedestrian level of the building projects from the central core. It has a flat roof, but the walls are glass windows, excepting those which have been boarded up. There is a bay on alternate sections of this level, specifically on the four corners. On the east side is a small square addition.
