Standin' tall at 42 feet, with a width of 34 feet and depth of 9 feet, the Memorial Arch of Huntington, West Virginia, was built between 1924 and 1929 by the Cabell County War Memorial Association. This grand structure is a silent salute to the heroes who served their county in World War I, adorned with intricate bas-reliefs and standing proudly on a granite foundation. The Classical Revival style speaks to the past, and after a re-dedication in 1980, it found a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It's a solitary triumphal-style monument, standin' tall as a lasting symbol of history and a community's resilience in the face of war.
