Designed to face Mount Wachusett, the matching wrought-iron gates were ornamented with metal wreaths, lotus flowers, and cornucopias. When the estate was planned, a pathway was cut through the trees to create a vista revealing Wachusett. One could look through the gate frame to see the sunset over the mountain. This framing element was intended to give the view dramatic power.
