The Memorial Arch is a historic memorial arch located in Memorial Park at Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia.[2] It was built between 1924 and 1929 by the Cabell County War Memorial Association as a memorial to the dead and to those who served the county in World War I. It is built of gray Indiana limestone on a gray granite base. It measures 42 feet high, 34 feet wide, and 9 feet deep. It features Classical Revival style bas-relief carvings. The structure was rededicated in 1980. It is the only triumphal style arch in West Virginia.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]
