Description
General Description
In May 1877, the design and plans for a lodge at the "upper gate" was approved by the Board of Commissioners. The Eagle Gate House was constructed adjacent to Eagle Gate (circa 1877). Executed in a Tudor Revival style, the modest gate house stands one-and-a-half stories in height with a stucco finish that accentuates the half-timbering indicative of the style. The building is covered by a cross hipped roof with a jerkin head and exposed rafter ends. The single and paired window openings are framed by square-edged surrounds.
