Alexandria, gates

This is one of two art deco style memorial gates which are located at corner entrances to Alexandria Park, in the inner city suburb of Alexandria. The Richard Power memorial gates were erected in 1939, in memory of Alderman Richard Power, Mayor of Alexandria, who kept a close eye on the park and took great pride in it.

  8. After the rich and imperial nature of late Victorian and Edwardian park architecture, this must have looked very stark and strange. I wonder what the locals thought about the gates in 1939.
