Stone Stanchions

Fieldstone and Native Bluestone

 

          Dry stone construction of two matching stanchions clearly marks the entrance to one of the wooded paths entering the grounds of the Black Feather Retreat Artists’ and Writers’ Colony located in Sullivan County, New York.

          The natural stone stanchions echo the many colonial stone walls found throughout this region and, despite their modern construction, they appear to have been built in the previous century.   This stone portal lets the traveler or hiker know that they are entering the Retreat’s grounds.   They are welcomed yet aware that they are entering respected property.

 

          These required the gathering of about two pallets of stones and almost four days to construct.   The structures are three feet wide at their bases and each is four feet tall.             The approximate cost for such a project is in the range of $ 1,400. - 2,800.
