Philadelphia, PA - Smith Memorial Arch

The Smith Memorial Arch in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built as a U.S. Civil War memorial on the former grounds of the 1876 Centennial Exposition, the ornate, bifurcated arch serves as a gateway to West Fairmount Park. The memorial is adorned with 13 individual portrait sculptures (2 equestrians, three figures, and eight busts), two eagles standing on globes, and architectural reliefs of 8 allegorical figures. The monumental work, designed by architect James H. Windrim and executed by several artists and artisans, is named after Richard Smith, a wealthy Philadelphia electroplate and type founder.
