Old St Louis County Court House Kiener Plaza Architectural Art
What a great image this turned out to be…. This is a sunrise image with the sun coming up far to your left out of the picture. Seen in this image are Kiener Plaza, the Old St Louis County Court House and The Gateway Arch, all important parts of downtown St Louis, Missouri. I was impressed with all that has done to make these areas wonderful places for the public to gather and enjoy the City of St Louis Missouri.
Kiener Plaza….
This 1.9 acre park, dedicated in 1962, is a connector of sorts between the Gateway Arch on the Mississippi riverfront and the Gateway Mall, a series of several parks along Market Street in the Downtown and Downtown West Neighborhoods.
Named in honor of Harry J Kiener who was born in St. Louis on February 27, 1881. He was an amateur boxer, wrestler and swimmer, but he is most noted for his position on the U.S. track team at the Olympics held in St. Louis in 1904 during the World's Fair. Harry J. Kiener died in 1960 at the age of 80.
Also seen in the image is the Old St Louis County Court house. This is a sunrise image taken looking over the Old St Louis County Court House toward The Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.
Old St. Louis County Court House….
The Old St. Louis County Courthouse was built as a combination federal and state courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. Missouri's tallest habitable building from 1864 to 1894, it is now part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and operated by the National Park Service for historical exhibits and events.
The Gateway Arch....
The Gateway Arch is a 630-foot (192 m) monument in St. Louis in the U.S. state of Missouri. Clad in stainless steel and built in the form of an inverted, weighted catenary arch, it is the world's tallest arch, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri's tallest accessible building. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, it is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and has become an internationally famous symbol of St. Louis.
The arch sits at the site of St. Louis' founding on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
The Gateway Arch was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen in 1947; construction began on February 12, 1963, and was completed on October 28, 1965, for $13 million (equivalent to $190 million in 2015). The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967
