This is a good example of Victorian wire and iron ornamental garden-type structures and follies which inspired the vine house project. Private homes had this sort of thing but these elements were removed as it rusted out or fell out of fashion. The cemetery’s gate would have been maintained over the years in a way private owners would not do even if they chose to keep the Victorian structures.
It is interesting how ornamentation was construed as alleviating grief. It was also a marketing tool. Fancy costs more. Our dearly departed deserves the best. For just a little bit more we can get the cherub carvings on the corners of the coffin for grandma. She was such an angel.
In the pictures that Cheryl took & posted of entering Bazaar & leaving Bazaar——the house you see belonged to Frank Gaddie!

I read the tone of that Roger. Ha!
I like the school house next to the cemetery. Perhaps it will be a future picture.
Remember “Child of the Manger” gold imprinting from the film “Paper Moon”?
Those gate look kinda pearly to me.
