St Louis MO Gateway Arch 7....by Reid Callaway
Old St Louis County Court House Architectural Cityscape Art
The Arch is in wonderful, full color, HDR.... with details and a sky only The Lord could provide. Seen in this image are Harry J Kiener Plaza, the Old St Louis County Court House and The Gateway Arch, all important parts of downtown St Louis, Missouri. I was impressed with all that has done to make these areas wonderful places for the public to gather and enjoy the City of St Louis. I outran the storm following me back from Kansas City as I head back to Atlanta and on to Hawaii, my home now. Enjoy and Please share with your friends and others what God has done. I feel so blessed that He has allowed me to push the camera’s shutter button on what He has created! "Soli Deo gloria"
Kiener Plaza….
This 1.9 acre park, dedicated in 1962, is a connector of sorts between the Gateway Arch on the Mississippi riverfront and the Gateway Mall, a series of several parks along Market Street in the Downtown and Downtown West Neighborhoods.
Named in honor of Harry J Kiener who was born in St. Louis on February 27, 1881. He was an amateur boxer, wrestler and swimmer, but he is most noted for his position on the U.S. track team at the Olympics held in St. Louis in 1904 during the World's Fair. Harry J. Kiener died in 1960 at the age of 80.
Old St. Louis County Court House….
The Old St. Louis County Courthouse was built as a combination federal and state courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. Missouri's tallest habitable building from 1864 to 1894, it is now part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and operated by the National Park Service for historical exhibits and events.
The Gateway Arch....
The Gateway Arch is a 630-foot (192 m) monument in St. Louis in the U.S. state of Missouri. Clad in stainless steel and built in the form of an inverted, weighted catenary arch, it is the world's tallest arch, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri's tallest accessible building. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, it is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and has become an internationally famous symbol of St. Louis.
The arch sits at the site of St. Louis' founding on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
The Gateway Arch was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen in 1947; construction began on February 12, 1963, and was completed on October 28, 1965, for $13 million (equivalent to $190 million in 2015). The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967
