It was funded in 1913 by the Private Robert Tyler Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The Memorial Gateway was designed by Sir Moses Ezekiel, and built by the NcNeal Marble Company of Marietta, Georgia. It took ten years and $10,000 to construct the granite structure. The back is solid granite, but the front has ornamentation. The names of seventy Confederate soldiers are carved upon the hoods of the structure. It has a center opening for vehicles, and two side openings for pedestrian traffic. The inscription on its capstone reads: "1861 Our Heroes 1865". Due to its size and how long after the war it was built, it was meant more to celebrate the Confederate States of America instead of mourning it, even through it was built in a cemetery.
