It is always a pleasure to stop by the park. Even though parking is a bit tough it is a real joy to see this monument.
An interesting note is that my father a young architect then, worked for Eero Saarinen and was on his design team for the arch. Even though he was not directly involved in the structural or mechanical portion of the Arch he did work on the interior design of the original visitors center. as well as the design of the two original entryways
My father had a concept of having a pond in the foyer of the original visitors center to highlight the native fish of the Mississippi River.
My father moved west and has designed some very high profile building in the Northwest and Alaska.
