John H. Duncan, designer of Grant's Tomb in Manhattan, designed the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch in a classical style similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and patterned after Roan imperial arches. The Civil War memorial arch, the winning entry in a competition, began in 1889. William Tecumseh Sherman laid the cornerstone on October 30, 1889. President Grover Cleveland presided over the unveiling on October 21, 1892.
