Appraisal
The entrance gates at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church create an impressive entrance to the modest church and are a notable addition to its setting. It is evident that this aesthetically-designed feature constructed using ashlar masonry and carved decorative details was executed by skilled craftsmen.
