Carmel-by-the-Sea World War I Memorial Arch, War memorial arch in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, US.
The sandstone memorial arch stands at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and San Carlos Street, featuring a bronze bell in its Spanish Mission Revival structure.
Architect Charles Sumner Greene designed the memorial in 1919, and its cornerstone was laid during a city parade on Armistice Day, November 11, 1921.
The memorial arch honors 56 local residents who served in World War I, with the bell ringing ceremonies held every Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
The arch, situated on the center median divider, received restoration funding from the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission in October 2017.
The original bell from 1966, donated by Harry J. Downie for the city's 50th anniversary, remains preserved at the local library.
