Luther Ely Smith: Father of the Gateway Arch

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Eero Saarinen's Arch may be among the most recognized works of public art, but the vision that led to the Jefferson National Expansioin Memorial was that of Luther Ely Smith. Mark Tranel looks at Smith's tireless work to have the warehouse district razed and a national memorial built on the St. Louis riverfront.
