This Historic Structures Report presents a brief summary of administrative, historical, and architectural data for the preservation of the two front entrance gates, considered to be part of the historic area. The gates that existed at the time of the report were designed by Brooks Adams in 1905 and were an estimate of the type of gates that the Old House should have. The four urns on granite posts were in disrepair and would be be replaced in-kind. The report section is preceded by correspondence memos.
