The Goethals Monument stands near the foot of the stairway leading up to the Canal Administration Building in Balboa, Panama City. It is a white Vermont marble structure designed by Chicago architect Alfred P. Shaw and built by the Martinz de Panamá company. Its tall central part symbolizes the Continental Divide, while the piles at the sides represent the Canal locks, through which the waters of Gatun Lake reach the oceans.
