Puerta de Kern Place - 1916

Kern Place Gate (Puerta de Kern Place), 1916 En un esfuerzo por aumentar la venta de viviendas en Kern Place, Peter Kern mando construir un rotulo ambicioso en 1916 a la entrada del barrio, ahora la esquina de la calle de Kansas y avenida Robinson. Diseñado por Kern, la puerta estaba hecha de dos pilares vinculados en la parte superior por un diseño de hierro intrincado que representan la afición del misticismo de Kern. La puerta ofreció varios símbolos incluyendo un calendario del zodiaco, la cresta de la familia Kern y 444 globos de luz eléctrica que iluminaba las palabras "Kern Place". La puerta estaba iluminado cada noche durante unos dos años antes de que los residentes del área se quejaron por el brillo abrumador. Por desgracia, la puerta fue desmantelada en 1954 para dar cabida a un proyecto de ampliación de la calle.
