North Easton Gate Lodge

Ames Gate Lodge I think that the gate lodge is the north gate to Solomon’s temple. Ezekiel gives us the description of the north gate. “Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits (13’-6” – I measured of 15’-9”)” “And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits (17’ – I measured 16’-8”); and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits (22’ – I measured 24’)” - so technically only one side of the three have the same measure and the posts are not the same size. The gate eastward "the length therof was fifty cubits (85' - I measured 78') and the breadth five and twenty cubits (42.5' - I measured 42'-11") “and the little chambers were six cubits (10.2’ – I measured 10’-9”), and six cubits on that side” “He made also posts of threescore cubits (102’ – the cyli...

Instead of stacking it on top, he attached it to the end of the 60x20 long end of the cross. It’s 20x20x20 but it’s an octagon. 2x2x2=8 sides. This is a theory on why the dome of the rock, where Solomon’s temple used to be, is 8 sided. Maimonides of the 12 th  century had some commentary on the temple. He writes about 3 cubit projections into the temple sanctuary spaced apart. “Each cell had three entrances: one to the cell on the right, one to the cell above it, one to the winding stairwell, one towards the cell with the wicket, and one to the temple.” I have a floor plan for Winn and the projections are exactly 3 cubits (5 feet).   Using the stacked cells to fit out a  library  is clever, Richardson used this same concept at  Ames   Free  Library (North Easton) and...
