The Gate Temple
Photographer: Mike Stroud
Taken: December 18, 2011
Caption: The Gate Temple
Additional Description: Completed in 1803, this ornamental gate temple is reminiscent of classical "temples" popular in English and French gardens at the time. With its pedimented portico and bell- roofed circular form, this structure is unique in Charleston. It deteriorated substantially during the 20th century and was restored with financial support from the E. Milby Burton Memorial Trust and The Garden Club of Charleston.
