Description

The Red Arch (Torii) in the Japanese Garden at Garden House, located 40 meters southeast of the house, is a freestanding arch likely built in the early 20th century, specifically between 1905 and 1926. It was created for Herbert Goode, a wealthy glass and china merchant who initiated the Japanese Garden in 1905. The arch is made of timber painted red and serves as a marker for the path leading to a Fox Shrine (Inari). It features converging uprights with a main crosspiece that projects outward. The lower cross-piece is tennoned with prominent wedged joints and includes a central framed plaque with an inscription. The heavy capping timber is elegantly swept up into horns.
