The St. Louis Arch has been a symbol for the Gateway to the West ever since it was completed on October 28, 1965. A Finnish American by the name of Eero Saarinen and a German American named Hannskarl Bandel designed the Gateway Arch in 1947. The construction for this monument began 16 years later and took two years approximately to build.
The grounds surrounding the Arch are currently under construction because a new and refreshing park is being built around the monument.
If one were to walk from the Arch up the Mississippi River walkway, then they would find the Graffiti Wall which goes for almost two miles. It is filled with art that is constantly changing as time goes on.
