SUMMERALL GATE
From Knob Knowledge
Named in honor of General Summerall, this gate is located north of Mark Clark Hall. According to some, the Summerall 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 Summerall Gate. This occurred in 1958. When Alumni and LeTellier Hall were joined, two more sword window grilles were discarded.
