Figure 10.60. Kiosk at Poston I.
|
Along Mohave Road at Poston I there is a large monument and kiosk,
complemented by sidewalks, palm trees, sitting areas, and a water
fountain (Figures 10.58-10.60). The location next to a fire station, was
chosen in part to help deter vandalism. The monument, dedicated in 1992,
consists of a 30-foot- high concrete column with a 7-foot-wide hexagonal
base shaped like a Japanese stone lantern. The kiosk, dedicated in 1995,
is four-sided with an overhanging pyramidal roof. Both the monument and
kiosk have interpretive signs which discuss the history of the
relocation, Japanese-American military service, and the Colorado River
Indian Tribe reservation (Figures 10.61 and 10.62).
