10100 East Jefferson Avenue
The Hurlbut Memorial Gate was erected in 1894 to serve as a formal entrance to Waterworks Park on East Jefferson Avenue. It was designed by Brede and Mueller in the florid neo-baroque style. Funding for the gate came from a bequest left for the beautification of the park by Chauncey Hurlbut, a member of the Board of Water Commissioners.
