DescriptionAerial view looking SW at Memorial Amphitheater under construction - Arlington National Cemetery - Arlington County VA USA - 1919.jpg |
English: Aerial view looking west-southwest at the partially finished Memorial Amphitheater in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States. Image was taken in 1919. West is toward the top of the image; south is to the left.
As constructed, Memorial Amphitheater ended in a small plaza atop a retaining wall, with a granite balustrade on the edge. The following year, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was added to this plaza. The road running vertically on the right side of this image is Farragut Avenue. The road running slightly diagonally lower-left to center to the left of the amphitheater is Porter Avenue. The road running slightly diagonally left to right is McPherson Avenue. The tree line beyond McPherson Avenue indicates the western boundary of the cemetery; beyond that is Fort Myer. The circular drive with crossed pathways in the upper middle portion of the image is the Confederate Memorial. The V-shaped road to the west and south of the amphitheater is Lawton Avenue; the slender shaft of the Spanish-American War Memorial can be seen at its apex. The V-shaped road coming in west and north of the memorial is Sigsbee Drive. The large round base from which the tall column protrudes is the USS Maine Mast Memorial. Wilson Avenue (which will run along the right side of this image) has yet to be constructed. Memorial Avenue (just west of the amphitheater) is under construction; the northern segment can be seen coming off Farragut Avenue, but not the southern. |
