The Historic Gazebo in Downtown Clarkesville as it is presently. City leaders approved final plans for painting it.

The Clarkesville Gazebo, painted white for many years, will soon get a facelift with added highlights of Hancock Green, Sherwood Green and New London Burgundy.

The changes were approved at the Clarkesville City Council meeting Monday evening, June 6.

A building mural, which was also approved by the Council, will be added to a building at the corner of Monroe Street and Old Historic 441, across the street from the gazebo.  The mural can be changed periodically and preparations have already been made for holding the fabric on the side of the building which faces the gazebo.
