Appraisal
A gateway erected to a design by William Mansfield Mitchell (1842-1910) of Leinster Street, Dublin, forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 15702622) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Brownswood estate.
