Description
This 1905 wrought-iron gate, known as FitzRandolph Gate, is the official entrance to Princeton University's campus. It was funded by a bequest from Augustus Van Wickle in honor of his great grandfather, Nathaniel FitzRandolph, who donated four a half acres upon which Nassau Hall was built in 1756. That was the first building at the College of New Jersey, which later became Princeton University.
You can find additional Princeton images in my New Jersey Collection.

Glenn DiPaola replied:
Thank you Deb. I did learn about the gate because of this post, and about Nassau Hall in the distance. Great place.

You low perspective adds to the grandness of this gateway and building beyond, terrific capture Glenn!
Glenn DiPaola replied:
Thank you very much Linda. That wide lens makes it look like I am shooting from a low spot, but I'm standing up. Also, the gates are huge. If you drew a line across the top of the people in the center, that is where they would come up to in the gate. Grand is the right word. I do give some history of that building, Nassau Hall, in my closer image of it.
