Various metals have been used to fabricate this historic gateway. Some materials have been plated to create a variety of colors and three dimensional illusions. The average height of the figures is three feet with the smelter stack standing at seven feet from the beam. The large support beam was brought in on a semi truck and previously constructed individual pieces were welded to the beam before trucks hoisted the gateway onto the side supports.
