The Gateway Arch is 75 feet taller than the Washington Monument and over twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty.
If the 60-foot heads carved on the face of Mount Rushmore had bodies, the giants would stand about 465 feet tall and could easily walk through the legs of the Arch!
While the Gateway Arch is America's tallest monument and the tallest building in all of Missouri, several buildings elsewhere would loom over the Arch.
