Mount Royal Entrance to Druid Hill Park

without comments

Location: W North Avenue & W Mount Royal Avenue – (Street View)

This gateway pillar is one of four standing at the original Mount Royal entrance to Druid Hill Park.  The monuments were re-erected, in 1988, by then Mayor Kurt Schmoke and the community.  George Aloysius Frederick, architect of Baltimore’s City Hall, designed the gateway structures (possibly with John H. B. Latrobe) made of Nova Scotia freestone.  The Colonel William Watson Monument towers nearby.
