1930s White Wrought Iron Gate - Elwood

This charming Streamline Moderne gate sits slightly ajar, encouraging the passerby to take a look in the garden beyond. Streamline Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis, which is why the gate features horizontal stripes in its design. It also has wonderful little curls; a motif very popular in the 30s, which was used to soften the angular lines of the Art Deco period.
