This is the entrance gate to B'nai Amoona Cemetery, Old Section. The pillars were part of the old Fagin Building in downtown St. Louis, where the Arcade Building now stands. Congregant Philip Miller purchased the red granite columns from the demolition site in 1902 and had them removed to the cemetery where they still stand, providing dignity to the entrance of the cemetery. The top capstone of the left column (quite worn) says SHEERITH. The top capstone of the right column (quite worn) says ISRAEL. This was the original name of the cemetery. The Miller mausoleum is shown in the background of the cemetery entrance photo. Information source: Congregation B’nai Amoona web site.
