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

4/22/03 Tuesday St. Louis Mike Huelsmann, 43, Granite City, cleans the steps leading up to the Arch Tuesday afternoon with a high pressure hose. All of the new steps have been installed. When workmen finish the sidewalk along Leonor K. Sullivan Blvd. in front of the steps, the job will be done. The project, by contract, must be completed by May 3rd. Huelsmann works for Capital Restoration, which is subcontracting for the general contractor, Alberici. The original plans for the Arch called for a solid set of steps leading down to the Mississippi River but the project ran out of money. Huelsmann said that the toughest part of cleaning the steps is all the chewing gum stuck to the concrete. PHOTO BY J.B. FORBES
