The scale of these gate is really emphasized by the gentlemen standing next to it! Somewhat of a shame top see the Lower Gateway, once considered "to be the finest examples of hand forged iron in the United States.", is covered in vines and looks not to have been open in years. Bypassed by hundreds a day...
ReplyDeleteWonderful period photos of a truly magnificent surviving gate ensemble. The scale is incredible. Unfortunately to regulate traffic and entrance onto the large property now owned by Nassau County, only one entrance is feasible, but you are so right, the lower gateway needs some TLC. Great post.

It was a great posting of your blog and very useful info....... Wonderful period photos of a truly magnificent surviving gate ensemble. The scale is incredible. Unfortunately to regulate traffic and entrance onto the large property now owned by Nassau County, only one entrance is feasible, but you are so right, the lower gateway needs some TLC.
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful iron work!!! Such a shame that it is "covered in vines" as you say. Can you imagine the manpower to install such magnificent gate panels? Thanks for sharing!
