Decorative wrought-iron gates, double-leaf to vehicular entrance and dressed limestone plinths having decorative wrought-iron railings flanking pedestrian gates and terminating in ashlar limestone piers.
Monumental elegant piers exhibiting attractive Art Deco profiling and restrained decorative ironwork. These gates form a grand entrance to Rockwell College, alluding to the earnest function of the buildings within.
