John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial, Memorial site in West End Historic District, Dallas, United States
The monument consists of a square, roofless concrete structure measuring 30 feet in height and 50 feet on each side, featuring 72 white columns.
Dallas citizens raised 200,000 dollars through private donations by August 1964 to construct this memorial near the location of President Kennedy's assassination.
The granite marker inside the memorial displays 'John Fitzgerald Kennedy' in gold letters, creating a space for visitors to reflect on his presidency.
The memorial stands one block east of Dealey Plaza, between Main and Commerce Streets, and receives approximately 500,000 visitors each year.
Eight concrete columns extend to the ground as support legs, with light fixtures that create an illusion of the structure floating on light during nighttime.
