These pedestals guard one of the main entrances to the Monticello subdivision, which was planned in 1928 by landscape designers Hare and Hare of Kansas City, Missouri, and developed by W. C. Guthrie for the Monticello Land Co. Flanking Monticello Drive, the pedestals of ochre brick with cast-stone quoins support lanterns; a low wall curves from each to a smaller pedestal topped by a finial.
