Gates to the seguine's past

View from the second floor verandah of the white gates which can close across the driveway between the House's grounds and the vehicle entrance and entry to the stables.

A close look at the iron gates.  These gates were unearthed by a piece of heavy equipment during grounds work.  The pattern makes George Burke think there must have been a foundry at The Seguine.

Detail of gate.  Burke thinks the cutout shapes were bolted together to make pairs of pliers which would have been used to pull the nails out of horse hooves when changing shoes.  

We got into this discussion as we were leaving.  There is so much to be discovered about The Seguine.
