Entry gate for the Wardell mansion in Macon Missouri. Wardell House is a historic home located at 1 Wardell Rd. in Macon, Macon County, Missouri. It was built in 1890, and is a three-story, Queen Anne style frame dwelling over a full basement, it was remodeled between 1899 and 1901. It has a complex hipped roof line and asymmetrical plan, it features a full-width verandah and an open tower on the second and third stories. Thomas Wardell (a coal baron) and his wife Elizabeth had their initials put on a shield as the centerpiece of the gate.
Gate is in poor condition. Top dragons are very rusted.
The property has been bought by Butch Patrick ("Eddie Munster" from television) as the property was owned by his grandmother when he was a child. Mr Patrick is in the process of having the house restored, and hopefully the gate will be included.
