Pergolas trace their roots to the Italian Renaissance. One of only two pergolas in the city of Spokane, the gazebo-like structure seats 30 people. The pergola is used for socializing, picnics, prayer services and many other activities.

Directional signs show the way to every destination on Clare Center property.
