Summary
| Description |
English: Front entrance of the Arlington National Cemetery Visitors Center.
The Visitors Center opened on January 16, 1990, replacing an older and larger structure. Frances Lethbridge & Associates was the architect of record, Coffin and Coffin were the landscape architects, and David Volkert & Associates the architectural engineers. Constructed at a cost of $18.7 million, the building is constructed of steel and masonry, with buff-painted stucco exterior walls trimmed in limestone. The entrance, which faces Memorial Drive, features a portico whose columns, pediments, and entablature are made of limestone. The court in front of the entrance is paved with grey granite. Semi-circular porticos of limestone supported by limestone columns extend from the east and west ends. The metal fixtures (doors, window sashes, etc.) are bronze-anodized aluminum, while the roof is copper. A barrel-vaulted atrium occupies the center of the building. A parking lot exists just southeast of the building. A Tourmobile stop is located just west of the center. |
