Wrought iron gate (c.1840), the old Charleston High School, 55 Society Street, Charleston, SC

The steps ascend to a very grand portico facing the street. This is the single gate at the east end.
The original High School of Charleston building was constructed between 1840-42. The architect was Edward Brickell White. "The wrought-iron gates [attributed to Christopher Werner] were probably installed in 1840 and correspond to similar work in the city from the same decade."
