NORTH GATE
From Knob Knowledge
Also called the Summerall Gate. According to some, the North Gate was actually made on The Citadel campus by a former chief of maintenance, Mr. Kanapaux. When the original sword window grilles were installed in Alumni Hall, two were not used. These were taken to Summerall's estate, Whitehall. After Summerall's death, they were returned to The Citadel and installed on the North Gate. This occurred in 1958. When Alumni and LeTellier Hall were joined, two more sword windows grilles were discarded. (HN)
