Fences make good neighbors, or so the saying goes – although Robert Frost advised further thought in his poem “Mending Wall”:
"…before I build a wall, I’d ask to know what I was walling in or walling out…"
It seems these Easton fences and gates are studies in contradictions. Their primary purpose may be to keep strangers at bay, but their intricacies and details (and in one instance, their hollyhocks!) compel closer examination.
As for the stairs that lead to nowhere…they add yet another layer to the mystery of the House on Bushkill Hill.
