The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, is a 630-foot stainless steel monument designed by Eero Saarinen and completed in 1965, symbolizing the city’s role as the “Gateway to the West.” As the tallest arch in the world, it celebrates America’s westward expansion with its bold, modern design. Visitors can ride a tram to the top for stunning views of the Mississippi River and St. Louis. #architecture #gatewayarch #usa #arch | World architecture inspiration

For the Gateway Arch’s 60th anniversary, nine of the original Arch Builders came back to the spot where they helped make the icon of St. Louis and the symbol of western expansion in the US! They signed autographs, told stories and took photos with hundreds of adoring fans! #architecture #construction #gatewayarch #stl #anniversary #gatewayarchnationalpark | Gateway Arch
