The following text is from a plaque located next to the arch:
This arch was erected in 1952 by the Board of Park Commissioners and the British Columbia Lumber Manufacturers Association. The original Lumbermen's Arch, known as the Bowie Arch, was built in 1912 on Pender Street near Hamilton Street in honor of the visit to Vancouver of the Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada at that time. The original arch was moved to this site and was a familiar landmark until dismantled in 1947.
