Rise of the Guard Gate House
Right now, the Four Seasons "adult community" development on the edge of North Caldwell, New Jersey, where the old Essex County Jail Annex used to stand, is free for anyone to roam through while many of the buildings are still under construction. When it is done, however, it will likely be a gated complex that only residents and guests will be permitted to enter.
Here's the new guard gate house at the entrance to the Four Seasons development off the recently built White Rock Road. It almost looks like a pretentious tool shed.
The Four Seasons development has its own street, Four Seasons Drive, which serves as the mailing address for the condo apartment units. And yet it likely will not be a public street. It seems ironic that gated "communities" have been going up in the U.S. since the the Berlin Wall and the rest of the Iron Curtain fell, but that's America for you.
I'm going to call this structure "Checkpoint Charlie." Cool pillars! :-p
