Carlton Place Properties

1. Entry Gate (South 14th Street and South Carson Avenue) 1909: The entrances to the addition from the north originally had large, red brick entry gates. This is the only remaining entry gate. The upper tablet on both sides of each marker has a centrally located “M” which likely stands for Magee, the name of the original developer of the neighborhood. The lower tablet reads “09,” representing the year the addition was platted. Extending off the side of the markers and over the sidewalk on both sides of the street are decorative, black, wrought iron arches, held aloft by shorter, slender, red brick columns.
