White House Unveils Renderings of Triumphal Arch
The White House unveiled official renderings of the 250-foot tall triumphal arch that President Trump wants constructed near Arlington National Cemetery.
The renderings prepared by Harrison Design feature a golden inscription reading “One Nation Under God” on the arch, which is topped with a winged Lady Liberty statue and flanked at its base by statues of four golden lions. The project is slated for Memorial Circle, a traffic roundabout near Arlington National Cemetery, which city planners have eyed for more than a century as the site of a potential monument.
The Washington Post reports the renderings were filed Friday by the Interior Department with the Commission of Fine Arts, a panel of advisers on the city’s architectural matters that Trump has stocked with allies. The commission is set to review the White House’s proposal at a meeting Thursday.

“The Triumphal Arch in Memorial Circle is going to be one of the most iconic landmarks not only in Washington, D.C., but throughout the world, ” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Politico. “It will enhance the visitor experience at Arlington National Cemetery for veterans, the families of the fallen, and all Americans alike, serving as a visual reminder of the noble sacrifices borne by so many American heroes throughout our 250-year history so we can enjoy our freedoms today. President Trump will continue to honor our veterans and give the greatest Nation on earth — America — the glory it deserves.”
