A simple Privacy Garden Gate created for recording artist Linda Perry. In this example, the latch is pre-bored at 60" height to satisfy local codes for a pool gate. All county codes require that Pool Gates swing out, away from the pool, and that they be self closing and self latching. Some counties set a required height for the latch.

Chicago, IL

The Privacy Entry Gate style #72 in Chicago, with a lovely brick perimeter wall. A long and illustrious history in Chicago of some of the most outstanding brickwork anywhere in the country, and not to exclude the ubiquitous Chicago Brick Bungalows.

So why is it that from the early 19th century, Chicago has been the epic center for American Architecture? Both residential and commercial.

In the 1870's, after a century of being a step behind St Louis as the trading center for Westward Ho commerce, Chicago came of age. The Civil War ended with an industrial boom not so dissimilar to the 1920's following WW1, and the 1950's after WW2.

The industrial tycoons flaunted their beef and crop profits made possible by the advent of the railroad that replaced the more cumbersome barges on the Chicago Canal. But even more so it was due to the age of machinery that belonged to Chicago. Innovative machinery that redefined manufacturing, and with revolutionary minds came a revolutionary approach to architecture, still in tact to this day.
