The Gateway Arch (Encore)
Description
In the midst of the Great Depression, the City of St. Louis wanted to create a monument to the city’s role in the westward expansion of the United States and for general waterfront improvement.
It took thirty years, but they eventually created their monument with the assistance of the Federal Government. When it was completed, it was a structure like no other on Earth.
It was a 630-foot-tall freestanding stainless steel arch. It required innovations not just in design and architecture, but in materials, construction, and even elevators.
Learn more about the Gateway Arch, how and why it was built, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
