Black wrought iron railing and gate made of floral and wave-like designs. There are leaf and spiral designs that extend out from the main railing. The botanical and spiral pattern are not found on the gate, but there are two escutcheons on the gate that are possibly attributed to the Basque family Recalde of Guipozcoa.
