* I'm not sure if “装饰性建筑物, 形状像碉堡” is exactly what would be called a bridge tower in English; I'm submitting it because that's how CE dictionaries translate it.
* “Gateway” isn't in dictionaries but I see 桥头堡 is being used to translate the also figurative sense of gateway. Probably an extension of the figurative sense that is in the other dictionaries. In several of the examples below 桥头堡 would be more clearly translated as gateway.

This gave the Sesame Store, and its successor the Sunrise Department Store, a distinctive style of its own.
