FILE PHOTO, March 9, 1965 - Rays from a 30-inch carbon arc searchlight produce more than 400 million candlepower, creating an aurora borealis-like effect above the St. Louis riverfront. The St. Louis Army Mobility Equipment Center put on the demonstration. The light, which was placed on the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial grounds just east of Third Street, was powered by a mobile generator and was 100 times more powerful than the searchlights used in World War II.

3/1/2005--One of the premier attractions to St. Louis is the Arch, seen here framed in a window of the old Cathedral, otherwise known as Basilica of St. Louis, King of France. The old Cathedral museum contains many artifacts and relics form the early days of the Catholic Church in St. Louis. The first Catholic Church in St. Louis was built on this site a a small log house in 1770 and the present building cornerstones were laid in 1831. The Jefferson Memorial to Westward Expansion contains a museum as well and together they paint an interesting portrait of the past of St. Louis. PHOTO BY KEVIN MANNING

April 19, 1999--Robb Clark, of Alaska, stands silhouetted against the Arch which was illuminated by researchers Monday night. Clark, a native of St. Louis, was in town visiting family when he decided to come downtown and watch a lighting design team experiment with the illumination. Clark was happy with the new look of the Arch at night but says living in Alaska offers its own natural light shows. It's no comparison to the Northern Lights, he said. PHOTO BY ANDREW CUTRARO

TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2006 -- More than 770 bollards surround the Gateway Arch along Memorial Drive in downtown St. Louis. Each post, 10 inches wide and 39 inches high, is set every five feet and designed to stop a vehicle from driving onto the grounds. The bollard barrier is also at a stand off distance for explosives, says Frank Mares, deputy superintendent of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. The Arch was assessed as a potential terrorism target by the U.S. Department of the Interior after the Sept. 11th attacks, because it is one of the icons of American culture and society, Mares said. Other highly visible national monuments, including the Statue of Liberty in New York, the National Mall in Washington, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in Philadelphia, and other key sites in the National Park system have received similar designation.
