Cultural or historic information
Built in 1893, this gate was originally intended for George Turner Marsh’s private property in Marin, but when he became responsible for Marsh‘s Japanese village as part of the 1894 California midwinter exposition, it was rerouted to the Japanese village. It remains in place as the entrance for the Japanese Tea Garden.
