Iron Gate features a collective of artists and services, including a variety of tattooing, personal training, photography, hair stylist, permanent jewelry, and more. The Kyle Building stands in the former site of the Kyle Opera House. Built in 1933, the building provides an example of early Art Deco and is made from black glazed terracotta, beige limestone, and aluminum decorative work.
