The stone gates on Main Street at Beckwith Road are recommended for designation as being of historical value. The gates were built in 1912 of local fieldstone to form a decorative entrance to Brantwood Place, an early example of a planned subdivision. In the late 40's, the gates were threatened with destruction. The residents of Brantwood Place stopped the demolition crew, subscribed to the purchase of a brass plaque, and dedicated the gates as a war memorial and as a
symbolic entrance and focal point for their community.
