dc.descriptionLocated at Lake Street, �way separates Branch Brook Park from the wealthy neighborhood of Forest Hill. The Ballantine gateway is a memorial to Robert F. Ballantine, who died in Europe while on a vacation. The gateway was constructed in 1899 and designed by Carriere and Hastings, the official architect of the Essex County Park Commission. According to Charles Cummings, the gateway has a French inspiration, but it is said that the gates are modelled on a structure in Scotland, the Ballantines' ancestral homeland.
