Summary

Entrance Gates, Botanic Gardens which were erected in 1876 or 1877. Provision for a public garden was made by Surveyor General Colonel William Light in his 1837 Plan for Adelaide. The site was recommended to the Government and George William Francis was appointed superintendent of the garden in 1855. A set of fine iron gates was purchased for the North Terrace entry. The gates have a double set of opening gates flanked by single opening gates on the side. Two gas lights sit on top of the ornate gate posts.
