- The Gateway was erected in 1901 featuring limestone and brick pillars, iron gates and a wrought iron arch with electric globe lights. The cost of approximately $1200 was raised by voluntary public subscriptions.
In 1957 the wrought iron arch was removed and the pillars reduced to one-third of their original height.
