 New residential buildings soon sprung up along the south side of the street but in the same time the need arose for a barrier toward the garden and City Architect Peter Meyn was charged with the commission.He had just returned from Paris where he had been struck by the Pont-Neuf with its iron grill and many small shops and the street life which surrounded it.With this as an inspiration, he designed the new grill along the edge of the park with 14 small shop pavilions which were completed in 1806.
