That is the original fence. It is 50 feet long and is made of about 3000 separate iron pieces. A new one would be too expensive to make and it would be illegal by today's standards. Back in the 1870s, the fence was a decorative barrier and a deterrent to jumping over it. It is about 36 inches tall and has tapered points on each vertical iron rod. It is grandfathered in because it is original to the home, but it represents a hazard to children and pets. Thus the deterrent.

Notice there is no railing on the porch, just as it was when it was built. Back in the day, if you fell off and got hurt, it was your own fault. Today's homes are much safer because the liability for injury on the property has shifted to the homeowner.
