Sculpture: Montgomery Gates by Adad Hannah

Anita Windisman

This art installation 'Montgomery Gates' lines either side of the entry aisle to the building Stock TC. Placed paralleling Yonge Street, the gates face each other and are meant to represent Montgomery's Tavern, long gone but which stood here in 1837 when William Lyon Mackenzie called the rebels together. The stone at the base of the stainless steel gates has inscribed upon it four lines, two per gate, from Mackenzie's Declaration of Independence of Upper Canada. The south gate reads 'Do you love freedom? I know you do.' The north gate, seen below, reads 'Do you hate oppression? Who dare deny it?'
