Notes
  • Significance: The Entrance Gates create the first major impression of the Death Valley Ranch complex. Because they were one of the last projects to be started, only the concrete sub-structure which included an apartment below the roadway was built before all construction ceased in May of 1931. Left unfinished, they physically demonstrate that plans for construction greatly exceeded the resources for the Ranch.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-158
  • Survey number: HABS CA-2257-H
  • Building/structure dates: 1930
