| 説明 | "The tall iron gates and fence were designed by...Abraham F. Reeves (1791-1832), an architect and member of the congregation, and the ironwork was executed by Jacob S. Roh in 1822." --from www.ccpl.org (the Charleston County Public Library).The three gates to the portico on Archdale Street (the front of the church) can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/hunky_punk/10908383726.The central front gate can be viewed here: www.flickr.com/photos/hunky_punk/10908493654.The crown of that gate can be viewed here: www.flickr.com/photos/hunky_punk/10908674733.These are identical in design. The side gate shown here is similar in outline but dramatically different in details. I find the central portion of this gate, including the crown, even more beautiful than that of the justly celebrated portico gates.The gates of St John's are usually locked except during services, but there is easy access to the churchyard from that of the Unitarian Church next door, which is open during daylight hours all year (check the website if you plan a visit). The two churchyards are quite different (the Unitarian is more "natural" and interesting to wander in), but as a child who loved to play among the graves (which, as an adult, still do :-), I doubt I ever gave a thought to which one I was in at a given moment. |
