‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
Work has been commenced and part of the foundations have been laid for the section of the Yard fence and the gateway to be erected jointly by the classes of 1887 and 1888. The fence will extend from the Fogg Museum east along Broadway and will be similar in general construction to the sections of the Yard fence already built. The gate-way, although of the same free style of architecture as the other entrances to the Yard, will be unique in design. A semi-circular masonry fence, extending about 25 feet into the Yard, will be broken by two gateways giving upon the paths leading south past Seven and west between Fogg Museum and Appleton Chapel, respectively. Between the gateways will be a niche in which will be installed a drinking fountain.
McKim, Mead & White, of New York, are the architects, and Connery & Wentworth, of Boston, the contractors in charge.
