This structure, a combination of two-story crenelated towers and movable timber & iron doors, anchor the Ansteorran presence at Gulf Wars.
Construction
The towers were designed by Master Fredrich der Rothirsh, and he led the construction efforts over the years of 200x-200x.
2012 Refurbishment
By 2011, exposure to the elements (including Hurricane Katrina) caused the gates to be in real danger of collapse. Water seeping in through the roof, combined with heat and high humidity, had rotted the interior timbers with black mold.
A year-long fundraising event was kicked off, and the populace donated a combined $x,xxx dollars. For those that donated, a pewter token of the gates was given out.
In December 2012, a crew of ten stalwart Ansteorrans spent a 3-day weekend disassembling the towers, rebuilding the internal structure, and improving the waterproofing capabilities of the roof.
