The Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog (visit link) describes the sculpture as follows:

"Two pairs of concrete columns, each pair supporting an arch of wood covered in sheet copper. Together the components form a simple freestanding portico or archway. Low, small concrete walls near the base of the columns serve as benches."

Subtype: Sculpture

Location: Beaches Senior Citizen Center
