Description
General Description
This metal structure was constructed as part of the expansion of the industrial and mechanical buildings and structures in the Service Area along the eastern edge of the property parallel to North Capitol Street. It is a one-story structure with a flat roof. The roof has exceptionally wide overhanging eaves to shelter the fixed glass windows that mark each of the four sides of the structure and provide shelter for the guards when addressing visitors to the gate. Constructed during the 1953 Master Plan phase, the gate house was dates outside the period of significance, and therefore has been recommended as non-contributing.
