Sather Gate and Bridge, Berkeley
historic place
Sather Gate and Bridge, a historic place in Alameda County, was completed in 1910. Designed by architect John Galen Howard in the Classical Revival-Beaux-Arts style, it was a gift from Jane K. Sather in memory of her late husband, Peder Sather. The gate originally served as the formal southern entrance to the University of California, Berkeley campus. The gate features eight bas-relief panels, sculpted by Professor Earl Cummings, which depict figures representing academic disciplines. These panels were removed in 1910 due to differences with Jane Sather and were later reinstalled in 1979. Sather Gate and Bridge is recognized as California Historical Landmark No. 946 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It stands as a significant architectural and historical landmark at the University of California, Berkeley.
