Made with high quality Tin sign , size 8×12 in. with 4 predrilled small holes on the corns
Location: Broad Street between Meeting and King Streets, right behind Charleston City Hall.
Origins: The land was part of the yard of the colonial-era Council House and later the Charleston County Courthouse.
Established as a park: 1818, making it one of Charleston’s oldest public parks.
Name: Honoring George Washington, who visited Charleston in 1791.
Design: The wrought-iron entrance gates to Washington Park are among Charleston’s most admired examples of 19th-century ironwork craftsmanship.
Ironwork Tradition: Charleston is famous for its decorative gates, many crafted by artisans like Christopher Werner (also creator of the Sword Gates at 61 Bay Street).
Style: The Washington Park gate features delicate scrolls, floral motifs, and balanced symmetry — typical of Charleston’s elite ironwork tradition.
The gate is both a functional entrance and an art piece, symbolizing Charleston’s blend of public space, civic history, and ironwork artistry.
The park beyond contains memorials to historic figures (like the Washington statue and markers honoring Charleston veterans).
