Description
The Burnham Beeches Hotel entrance gates and curtain walls were built in the early to mid 18th century by James Gibbs. The structure features four stone gate piers that are square and exhibit vermiculated rustication in bands and at the corners, topped with flat heads. The two central piers are taller and adorned with carved swags on all four sides at the top, which is corniced. Between these piers are disused 18th-century wrought iron gates. The curtain walls consist of a low stone base with cast iron pointed railings and a section made of low red brick topped with shorter cast iron pointed railings. This entrance was designed for Richard Phillips, the Governor of Nova Scotia, who lived from 1661 to 1751.
