| Additional Information: | A 'site file' (Riverside Cemetery) exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History April 2001-The Riverside Cemetery Gateway is composed of two, square, posts of beige, rock-faced stone in a random ashlar pattern. The base and cap are white stone. A bronze plaque reading: RIVERSIDE CEMETERY is set on the front (east face) of each post. A metal bracket embedded into the inside face of each post suggests that a metal gate hung from the posts at one time. The rustic appearance of the Gateway suggests a construction date of c. 1930. The Gateway frames Laurel Avenue, the principal road into the original section of the cemetery. The Riverside Cemetery Gateway is a good example of a Rustic style gateway, typical of those used for cemeteries and parks during the 1930s. |
