Amaziah Lord Knox monument - El Cajon, California - Citizen Memorials on Waymarking.com

Spanning Main Street in El Cajon (San Diego County), California, this arch serves as both a welcome sign and as a monument to Amaziah Lord Knox (1833-1918), a New Englander who opened a hotel here during a local gold rush in the 1870s. A picture and short bio of Knox appear on each of the two pylons supporting the arch. The text reads:
