The lions are on the Westland Gate, also known as Johnson Gate, at the intersection of Westland Avenue and The Fenway. This monument was designed by architect Guy Lowell, who also designed the original section of the Museum of Fine Arts.
A plaque installed in 1991 gives more information, "This entrance to the Fens, originally known as the Johnson Memorial Fountain, was donated to the City of Boston and erected in 1905 through a generous bequest from Mrs. Ellen Cheney Johnson in memory of her husband Jesse.”
