"The gate was donated by William H. Fish in 1899.  The Fish family lived in the house directly diagonal from the gate.  The gate was designed by Isabell Terrell.  The faces carved into the gate portray the seven ages of man from Shakespeare's play, "As You Like It," Act 2, Scene 7 soliloquy that begins with 'All the world's a stage...'.  The eighth carving is the face of Lincoln Goodale."
