New architectural drawings of President Donald Trump’s controversial proposed “triumphal arch” released on Friday show a 250-foot structure standing across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The drawings, submitted by Harrison Design to the Commission of Fine Arts ahead of that independent agency’s April 16 meeting on the proposal, show a large white structure, topped with a gilded Lady Liberty statue and the words “One Nation Under God.”
Four golden lions surround the arch at its base.
The arch, according to its renderings, would be more than double the height of the Lincoln Memorial. Trump told reporters earlier this year that the arch would be “the most beautiful in the world.”
The monument, which Trump has teased since last year, is slated to be built in Memorial Circle, a roundabout near Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, which leads into downtown D.C.
