| Description |
THE EAGLE GATE. This famous landmark was first erected in 1859 from designs furnished by Bishop H.B. Clawson, and for many years formed the entrance to President Brigham Young's private property at the mouth of City Creek canyon, comprising something like fifty acres, within which inclosure were the Lion and Bee Hive House, Tithing office and other well known properties. The eagle which surmounts the gate was carved from native wood by Ralph Ramsey and William Bell. In 1892 it was foound necessary by reason of the inarguration of the street car service to remove the gateway in order to make room for the passage of the cars. For a time the demolition of the old landmark promised to be permanent. Soon, however there was universal regret manifested over its destruction, and accordingly subscriptions were speedily raised by generous-hearted citizens. to the amount of $2,700, and its reconstruction ordered as shown above. |
