Three stone pillars supporting a wrought-iron gate entrance. The stone pillars include relief figures of King Solomon, Hiram of Bysse and the King of Tyre. Each figure is robed and bearded and stands above a Masonic symbol. One figure wears a skull cap and holds a church in his proper left hand; a cross in his proper right hand. The central figure wears a crown and alb and holds a tablet in his proper left hand. The third figure wears a crown and holds a scepter in his proper left hand; a treasure chest held up to his chest in his proper right hand.
