Building
(constructed
1836-1869)
. The
gates
controlled
access
onto
West
and
East
Executive
avenues
from
Pennsylvania
Avenue
.
When
automobiles
replaced
carriages
, the

became
a
safety
concern
as they were
situated
in the
middle
of
Executive
Avenue
.
Upon
hearing

that the
gates
were to be
removed
from the
White
House
due
to
safety
concerns
,
Colonel
Webb
Hayes
contacted
Washington

authorized
the
