A new National Park Service assessment indicates that a proposed 250-foot-tall memorial arch commissioned by Donald Trump could negatively impact the historical integrity of Washington, D.C. The report suggests the structure would disrupt the significance of numerous sites located near the planned construction area.
Specifically, the assessment notes that the arch would break the visual alignment between the Lincoln Memorial, Memorial Bridge, and Arlington House, the former residence of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The findings highlight concerns regarding how the scale and placement of the monument would affect the existing historical landscape.
