The Washington Square Arch is a tribute by the City of New York to George Washington, the first President of United States. This tribute was in the form of a wooden Memorial Arch to commemorate the Centennial of Washington's inauguration as President of the United States. The celebration took place on April 30, 1889. The arch, designed by Stanford White and modeled after the larger Arc de Triomphe in Paris was so successful at the celebrations, that a marble version was commissioned.

The Washington Arch is located at 5th Avenue and Waverly place.
