Unity Gate (#24 on marker)

Artist: John Shaw-Rimmington

About: The Unity Gate is an archway and curling dry stone walls, made with locally quarried granite. It was designed by John Shaw-Rimmington and constructed by students of the 2013 Dry Stone Structures Course at Fleming College, Haliburton School of Art + Design. There is no mortar used in the entire structure and the piece relies solely on friction and gravity, and most importantly the keystone, which is the large stone at the very top of the arch.

Materials: Locally quarried granite
