St. Louis Arch

The St. Louis Arch, officially known as the Gateway Arch (which redirects to this page), is a 630-foot man-made structure located on Memorial Drive in the city of St. Louis in Missouri. It is one of the most famous and recognizable landmarks and is tallest structure in the United States. The arch sits at the site of St. Louis' founding on the west bank of the Mississippi River.

In television, the St. Louis Arch is prominently featured on the Syfy series Defiance and is one of the last remaining structures of its kind in the post-apocalyptic mid-21st century. On the show, the Gateway Arch houses the broadcast station Raider Radio, which is operated by D.J. Alak Tarr - known for playing old Earth hits of the past as well as the occasional emergency broadcast and/or political debate.
