Six views of the famous St. Louis Gateway Arch

Gateway Arch commemorates America’s westward expansion, and celebrates St. Louis’ role as “gateway to the west.”

The famous shiny, stainless steel arch was conceived in the 1930s, designed by Eero Saarinen and Hannskarl Bandel in the 1940s, and opened to the public in 1967. At 630 feet tall, the arch is the tallest accessible building in the state of Missouri, and the tallest arch in the world.

Keith Dotson's Impressions of the Arch

Of course, the striking arch has been photographed thousands of times from every conceivable angle and viewpoint. Even though the world may not need more images of the arch, here are six more takes on the great silver monument from Keith.

We hope you’ll find something appealing in Keith's personal viewpoint of this beautiful monument. If you haven’t been to St. Louis to see the arch, it's highly recommended. The city has great restaurants and the people are super-friendly.

Thanks for reading!
