The Gatehouse, located along the majestic drive from Morton Street (Route 203) known as Forest Hills Avenue, was designed by Gridley J. Fox Bryant (1816-1899) and Louis P. Rogers (1838-1905) and built in 1868 adjacent to a secondary entrance to the cemetery.
A charming two-story Gothic Revival cottage, it is built of Roxbury puddingstone and buff sandstone with a steeply pitched dormered roof with bands of red and black slate. Built as the gatekeeper’s residence, it is today leased by the trustees of the cemetery as a private residence.
