Stone Gate House

There is a gate house to the estate that has now become the arboretum in Seattle.  I assume it once kept unwanted visitors at bay.  Now, it sits beside the road doing very little.  I don’t know if it is used at various times throughout the year but, when we were there, it was locked up securely which didn’t give the impression that it was regularly occupied.  The stone structure fits in nicely with the surrounding trees.
