NOTE: In 1889, to celebrate the centennial of George Washington's inauguration as president of the United States, a large plaster and wood Memorial Arch was erected over Fifth Avenue just north of Washington Square Park. The temporary plaster and wood arch was so popular that in 1892 a permanent marble arch was erected. The inscription on the arch reads: "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God. - Washington"
