These rustic gateposts of irregularly coursed rubble construction flank the southwestern entrance to River Crest Addition. Approximately one story in height, each tapering pedestal has a window opening with cast-stone coping beneath a woodframed gable roof clad in Mission tile. The gateposts connect to a low rubble stone wall which extends east along Crestline Road and north on Alta Drive. The gates were most likely constructed by the River Crest Co. in 1911 when the subdivision os the residential area began. Identical rubble construction forms the Taylor-Roeser House (4736 Crestline Road), which one had a similar Mission-tiled visor roof, as well as the shelters and stone walls encircling River Crest Country Club (1501 Western Avenue). In fair condition, the stone shows evidence of having been painted.
