Seaman Drake Arch (New York City, New York)

USA / New York / Inwood / New York City, New York
 monument, interesting place
Gatehouse entrance to a long driveway which curled up to the Seaman, later Drake, estate perched atop the hill bounded by present-day 215th St on the South, 218th St on the North, between Park Terrace East and Park Terrace West. Outfitted with iron gates — parts of the hardware still exist — it has windows upstairs which suggest that the gatekeeper had quarters in the arch.

  • Built in 1855 of local marble quarried from Marble Hill directly to the north, this arch has suffered from decades of abuse from local graffiti vandals.
