Built in 1885, this magnificent Gothic stone gate is the primary entrance for many visiting Crown Hill and most funerals will enter Crown Hill through this gate. Upon entering through the gate you will see the Waiting Station (1885) on the right (north side) and the Sentry House (1904) on the left (south side).
This triple-arched stone gate was designed by Indianapolis architect Adolph Scherrer and completed just in time for the funeral procession of Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks on Nov. 30, 1885.
