The Allen Memorial Gateway Arch was built in 1885 after the funds were donated by Thomas Allen, Jr. His father, Thomas Allen Sr., was a Congressman & railroad magnate from Pittsfield, MA

The arch is made of gray granite blocks. It has two openings: a large opening for vehicles and smaller side arch once used for pedestrians but now the path is gone and the opening is gated with a blue-gree wrought iron fence.

A bronze plaque on the street side between the arches is inscribed:
