The gate is located in the historic St. Michael's Cemetery. This nicely designed gate guards the entry to Daniel Sullivan's grave site and monument.
A marker located just outside the gate provides the following information about Sullivan:
"Daniel F. Sullivan and his brother Martin, born in Ireland, arrived in Pensacola after the Civil War. Possessing a remarkable talent for business, the brothers purchased lumber mills and wharfs on Pensacola Bay and vast areas of timberland in Escambia County. The success of their lumber business in the late 19th century is exemplified by the founding of the town of Century and this monument to Daniel Sullivan, the largest in the cemetery."
