Liberty Memorial Sliding Gates



The sliding gates at the south entrance of the Liberty Memorial were designed by Ellen Driscoll in 2006 and are called “Pro Patria More”. The lower stainless steel panels are perforated to create a silhouetted rendering of a photograph of Scottish Highlander soldiers leaving a WWI battlefield. The mosaics lining the top of each gate are a composite of photographic images of individual soldiers, field and battle scenes along with various badges from the different military entities who participated in the war.

I just found a company that has slide gate openers in Raleigh NC and I think we will be very happy once the job is done and the gate is up.

A sliding door is a door that is opened horizontally by sliding it to the side. Sliding doors are either mounted or hung from a track and sometimes move up and down as well.
