The Water-Gate Of York House
The Water-Gate of York House, Buckingham-Street, Strand, 1854. York Watergate in Westminster, London,, built by George Villiers, circa 1626. 'The Water-gate...is of Portland stone: in the front, facing Buckingham-Street, are three arches flanked with pilasters, supporting an entablature and four balls; above the keystones of the arches are shields, those at the sides sculptured with anchors, and that in the centre with the arms of Villiers impaling those of the family of Manners. Upon the frieze is the Villiers' motto...The riverfront...has a large archway, opening upon steps to the water; on each side is an aperture, divided by a small column, and partly closed by balustrades. Four rusticated columns support an entablature, ornamented with scallop-shells, and crowned with an arched pediment, and two couchant lions holding shields, on which are sculptured anchors'.
