Here is the NYC arch - pictured, from both sides. Looking forward to the one in DC
The US has roughly 20 permanent monumental arches in that classic triumphal style. A few were temporary and later torn down. The best-known ones:
- **Washington Square Arch,** New York City (1892), 77 feet tall
- **Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch,** Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn (1892), 80 feet
- **Manhattan Bridge Arch,** New York City (1915)
- **National Memorial Arch,** Valley Forge, Pennsylvania (1917)
- **Roosevelt Arch,** the north entrance to Yellowstone (1903)
- **Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch,** Hartford, Connecticut (1886)
- **Smith Memorial Arch,** Philadelphia (1912)
- **Victory Arch,** New Orleans (1919)
- **Millennium Gate,** Atlanta (2008), the newest one
- **Dewey Arch,** New York City (1899), which was temporary and torn down in 1901
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is the tallest arch in the world at 630 feet, but it's a modern steel design rather than the classic style. There's also the arch the President proposed in 2025 for Washington, DC, near Arlington Memorial Bridge. It would be the newest addition to the list.
