Remarkable Ohio
 
Description
Built in 1910 in Radnor, Ohio, this lych gate was designed by local architect William Robert Powell to commemorate early settlers of Radnor who emigrated from Wales. Traditional in England and Wales, lych gates are covered gateways used to shelter coffins until clergy arrive for burial. The Radnor lych gate has two openings: a larger one designed for horse-drawn hearses and a smaller one for mourners. Powell added the tower to resemble a church steeple for a more ecclesiastical style. Constructed of stone from the local Meredith quarry, the gate features raised joints and oak gates to close the entrance.
