Entrance pylons of this type would both enhance the area in which they are placed and give a significant sense of location. These pylons are intended to stand on opposites sides of a street. The materials are reminiscent of those used in the period of Prairie School Architecture, though the design and proportions are original. It is our goal to bring back detail and quality of materials as well as to create new designs which will entertain the eye and add beauty to the area they occupy. The total structure is around 16 feet in height, built of brick and adorned with terra cotta and granite. The lower part serves as a planter and the upper lights are of bronze, including the lit pyramid on top.
