Larry Basinger. Collection

Name: The Castle Gate - Location: Castlegate/Larry Basinger/Mantle

This is a photograph of one of the fireplace mantles that was in the Castle Gate hospital. "My interest in pictures of the fireplace mantles is because I own one of the two that were originally in the hospital. There were two fireplaces in the hospital, one upstairs and one downstairs. The one downstairs was painted lime green just like the walls while the one upstairs was left with the original finish. When they sold the items out of the hospital my family purchased them (early 70's). I have the one from the second floor on my wall and that is why I was interested in a picture of it in its original setting." If you have an original photograph of the mantles in the hospital please contact Larry Basinger.
