Description |
Front of Gates Hall 1984. Cartouche painted over. Immature shrubs, vine climbing right wall. Lower window trim and porch columns painted light color. Upper window trim is stained or painted dark color. Porch is glass-enclosed with outer door. Dormer windows appear to be painted over. Note: Originally called "Overlea," the house was built as a private residence for Mr. David Pepper in 1893. Designed by Wilson Eyre Jr., a well known residential architect of the time. The window variations, classical motifs and steep-pitch roof are typical of Eyre’s work. In 1948 Overlea was purchased by the Arboretum and re-named for Thomas Sovereign Gates, the University of Pennsylvania President who was instrumental in establishing the Arboretum. |
