Vanderbilt Gate
4.7 (82)attraction
4.7 (82)Ornate French ironwork from a lost Fifth Avenue mansion now frames the entrance to Central Park's Conservatory Garden.
Description
The gilded cast-iron gates here were salvaged from the demolished Vanderbilt mansion and now frame the entrance to Central Park's Conservatory Garden at Fifth Avenue and 105th Street. Designed by American architect George Post and crafted in France, they rank among the city's finest ironwork. With a 4.7 average rating and a fairy-tale feel, the spot is a beloved photo backdrop, and the garden itself is an oasis with fountains and knowledgeable staff.
