Structure of the Day #12

     Today's structure of the day is one of my favorites.  It is a classic example of good old American ingenuity!  The Gateway Arch or as it is commonly known as the Gateway to the West, is the center of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri.  The Gateway Arch is the tallest accessible building in Missouri.  It is the tallest man-made monument in the United States, standing at 630 feet or 192 meters.  Construction was completed October 28, 1965.  Is this monument cool or what?  You can never have to much creativity when it comes to architecture!
