John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial, Memorial site in West End Historic District, Dallas, United States

The John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial is a concrete monument in the West End Historic District of Dallas, Texas. The square structure consists of 72 slender white columns forming an open, roofless chamber with a granite pedestal bearing the president's name at its center.

After the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963, a Dallas citizens' committee raised funds within months for a monument near the site. Architect Philip Johnson designed the simple form, which was dedicated in 1970.

The only words inside the roofless room are "John Fitzgerald Kennedy", carved in gold letters on the north and south faces of the dark granite block. Two more granite squares set in the plaza about 50 feet from the north and south openings carry an epitaph. The memorial is owned by Dallas County and has been managed since 1999 by The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.

The monument stands one block east of Dealey Plaza, between Main Street and Commerce Street, within a few minutes' walk. The open design allows access at any hour, though the lighting at night makes the visit particularly memorable.

The eight support columns carrying the entire weight are positioned so that built-in lighting makes them almost invisible at night. This illumination causes the floating ceiling plane to appear detached from the ground, something many visitors notice only upon approaching closely.
