Johnston Gate

The main gate into Harvard Yard, 1889, brick and wrought iron by McKim, Mead and White, the first of the gates that turned an open green into an enclosed yard.

Guide's tip. Free, always open. This is the gate the tour groups use, so the crowd thins twenty steps inside.

On a walking tour. Stop 2 of 10 on the walking tour Harvard, the Yard and around it, every stop on a map in walking order.
