This arch sometimes called the Memorial Arch and the "Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch"began being constructed in 1989 to complement an entrance of prospect park and commemorate many people and generally the successes of America and its freedom. In the South side of the Arch there is a figure holding a tablet that has "Constitution" written on it. The highlight of America in this arch seems to be the Civil War and seem to commemorate the founders of the Union. Despite having its American message of freedom the arch seems to be inspired from Roman and Greek Art. There are Greek orders on the sides and it seems to be similar to a roman arch.
