Westland Gate
Westland Gate (also known as the Johnson Gates) is a pair of fountains that borders the Back Bay Fens at the end of Westland Avenue in Boston.
==History==
Westland Gate was designed by Guy Lowell, architect of the Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, and was built in 1902 and erected in 1905. The decorative bronze was produced by the Hecla Iron Works. The fountains were originally named the Johnson Memorial Fountain after a wealthy Bostonian, Jesse Johnson, whose widow, Ellen Cheney Johnson, donated money to erect them. The fountains consist of two large pillars caped with bronze frieze panels made of granite and Tennessee marble flanking the street with four bronze lions heads near their bases that originally spouted water.
From the gates' plaque (installed in 1991):
''"This entrance to the Fens, originally known as the Johnson Memorial Fountain, was donated to the City of Boston and erected in 1905 through a generous bequest from Mrs. Ellen Cheney Johnson in memory of her husband Jesse. A grant from Boston's Edward Ingersoll Browne Trust Fund and monies from the gates' maintenance endowment made possible a 1980 restoration. The Ellen C. Johnson Trust Fund provided for subsequent renovations in 1990. The gates are under the management of the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department."''
