A gatehouse is a feature of Europeancastles and mansions. Gatehouses were first constructed in the second half of the 16th century in England when the entrance gateway, which formed part of the principal front of the earlier feudal castles, became a detached feature attached to the mansions only by a wall enclosing the entrance court. The gatehouse then constituted a structure of some importance, and included sometimes many rooms. At a later period smaller accommodation was provided so that it virtually became a lodge, but being designed to harmonize with the mansion it presented sometimes a monumental structure.

Notable English gatehouses include:
Stanway Hall, Gloucestershire, where the gatehouse measures 44 ft. by 22 ft. and has three storeys;
Westwood, Worcestershire, it had a frontage of 54 ft. with two storeys; and at
Burton Agnes Hall, Yorkshire, it was still larger and was flanked by great octagonal towers at the angles and had three storeys.

Gatehouse appealed the ZBA decision to the HAC under the provisions of the state anti-snob zoning law, which does not allow communities to reject an affordable housing proposal because of the strain it would place on municipal resources.
Gatehouse Attorney Walter Spiegel asked the chief why he didn’t object to a number of projects, including the construction of a dormitory at the Iorio skating rink, that face many of the same safety issues as the Gatehouse project.
The Gatehouse presentation to the HAC last week stressed that despite the local concerns, the complex would meet state codes and that all of its elements, including the location, are consistent with generally accepted standards.
