Stevens Through the Years

The Stevens Gatehouse, located between the Babbio Center and the Morton-Peirce-Kidde Complex, is an iconic structure that has long served as a symbolic link to Stevens' past. But it may surprise some to know that the Eighth Street entrance to the Stevens estate once had its own stone gate, made from the same serpentine rock used to build the better-known Gatehouse.
