John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial, Presidential memorial in West End Historic District, Dallas, US
The concrete memorial spans 50 feet by 50 feet with 72 white columns forming the walls and a central granite block inscribed with golden letters.
Following President Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Dallas citizens raised $200,000 through 50,000 individual donations to construct this monument designed by Philip Johnson.
The memorial incorporates an epitaph stating that Kennedy's life experiences and death impact belonged to all people, inscribed on two granite squares.
The memorial receives 500,000 visitors yearly and stands near Dealey Plaza, maintained by The Sixth Floor Museum through regular preservation efforts.
Eight concrete columns extend to the ground as support legs, while the roofless design represents the freedom of Kennedy's spirit.
