History
Rock Gate was constructed beginning in the 1920s by Edward Leedskalnin, who lived in it and operated it as a roadside attraction. In the late 1930s he moved its pieces from Florida City to its present site in Homestead. After his death in 1931, the property was sold to Julius Leven, who hired Bodil Lowe to publicize the attraction. Lowe collected many of these affidavits as part of that publicity effort.
