Roddick Gates, Gateway monument at McGill University campus in Montreal, Canada.
The Roddick Gates feature a neoclassical colonnade with four clocks and bells marking the main entrance to McGill University from Sherbrooke Street West.
Lady Amy Redpath Roddick donated these gates in 1924 to honor her late husband Sir Thomas George Roddick, who served as Dean of McGill's Faculty of Medicine.
The gates establish a physical transition point between Montreal's urban environment and the educational grounds of McGill University, marking a symbolic threshold.
The Seth Thomas clocks and Meneely bells underwent restoration in 2010, ensuring their continued function as timekeepers for students and visitors.
The gates stand at the northern end of McGill College Avenue, creating a direct visual connection between Place Ville Marie and the university campus.
