Description
Just after dusk, with the sky still showing a deep and glowing blue, in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, the lighted facade of the old courthouse and the silhouette of the iconic St. Louis Gateway Arch are reflected in the still waters of a decorative fountain. The arch, designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, is clad in stainless steel, and at 630 feet is the world's tallest arch. Metaphorically, it suggests that the city and area is the gateway to the historic westward expansion. The arch and its environs were the first in the U.S. to be designated a National Historic Site.
