In St. Louis, there were and still are,in many places, private streets with
gates. You may be looking at something similar.

Subject: Street markers?
Urbanists:
Can anyone supply me with the name for those columns of stone which
stand flanking the entrances to residential sections of a town or
city. It seems clear that they were part of a planned neighborhood.
They are disappearing fast from the cityscene and I thought it time for
someone to get out and record them. It would help immensely if one
knew what to cll them.
You help is much appreciated.
John
