Folsom Prison East Gate, Folsom California - Gates of Distinction on Waymarking.com

Folsom Prison was built by inmates in the 1880's. What is now called "Old Folsom" is made of granite from nearby Granite Bay. The gates are imposing and fear-inspiring. They use the old style flat slat construction methods.

The East Gate is in one corner of a mammoth stone wall with a copper pointed roof of a watch tower just behind it.
