Anthony-Northside Gateway Project

The Wheeling/Cowing monuments loaded on a flatbed for transport

The stone gateway at the entrance to the Wheeling Park Addition at Wheeling/Cowing and another remaining stone boundary post on Wheeling are the last standing structures in Muncie born of the generosity of Harriett B. Anthony.

In April 2019 the Anthony-Northside Neighborhood Association (ANNA) discovered these monuments were in the path of the city’s planned reconstruction of Wheeling Avenue. A mad scramble was made to find the funding and resources to save the historic gates. With the help of numerous state and local organizations including Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning, Indiana Landmarks, the Muncie Board of Works, and the Federal Highway Administration funds were eventually allocated for the Indiana Department of Transportation to remove the iconic brickwork and return them to their original locations once the Wheeling project completes.

Gatewood Neighborhood Gates Restoration Project

Gatewood has completed the neighborhood-sponsored leveling, cleaning, tuck-pointing and restoration of their historic Gate Pillars installed almost 100 years ago in 1927.  Here are some before and after photos of the Gate Pillars at University And Forest Avenues.
