Description
The walls, piers, and gates to Gray House were constructed in 1914 by architect C.A.C. Greene for Mr. Tindal Greene. These features are made of brick, with ashlar and tile copings, and include wrought-iron and wood gates. The high walls with segmental ashlar coping enclose the north side of the garden, which faces Gray Road. The vehicle entrance on the left has square piers topped with low pyramidal ashlar coping and boarded wood gates set back in inner recesses. The entrance to the path leading to the house features tall square piers with roll-moulded gabled coping, along with slightly lower narrow inner piers that have curved tile centers raised on gabled coping facing inwards to the gate. A high wrought-iron pedestrian gate is decorated with scattered leaf trails and lizards across its surface.
