The Kern Place gate (1916-1954) featured various mystical symbols, including a zodiac calendar, the Kern family crest and 444 electric light globes that illuminated the words "Kern Place." It was called a monument to "Lady Luck." Standing near left pillar is Peter Kern.

Judging by Peter Kern's height in this photo, the top of the gate must have been over 40 feet tall.
