The St. Louis Gateway Arch was designed by architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947.
The importance is that the National Parks service thought that recognizing that St Louis was the gateway to the west was important enough to build and maintain a park and national monument at the Arch site.
The Gateway arch is in St Louis, Missouri

The Gateway Arch was completed in late 1965.
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, honors President Thomas Jefferson and his role in expanding the United States westward through the Louisiana Purchase. The arch also commemorates the historic significance of St. Louis as the "Gateway to the West" during the westward expansion of the United States.
