About the Project
Completed in 2000, the Frick Park Gatehouse restoration marked the Parks Conservancy’s first showcase project. Using original plans by architect John Russell Pope and landscape architects Innocenti and Webel, the Parks Conservancy carefully restored the historic 70-year-old structure, replacing the failing asphalt roof with original mixed clay tiles, cleaning and repairing the stonework, and enhancing the surrounding landscape with new trees and shrubs.
Today, the Gatehouse remains a welcoming and enduring symbol of Frick Park’s history and stewardship.
