The Wister family later built a gazebo on this site that as of 2014 is in a ruined state. Northwest of the summer house was an obelisk at the end of a garden walk. Peale painted four mottos that governed his life on the base of this obelisk, one on each side. It was Peale's wish to have been buried at the foot of this obelisk, yet it was not to be, as Peale sold Belfield a year before his death.Wistar & Rudnytzky 2009, p. 13 Though Peale was not buried at this location, the Wister family later buried their dog, a white German Spitz named 'Kaiser', there.Butler 2009, p. 45 A reproduction of this obelisk was created by La Salle alumni in 2000.Butler 2009, p. 29
