"Hoit, Price and Barnes presented plans for a giant, ornamented obelisk that sat atop a large building ringed with columns. Their design was unique in that it set the monument at the extreme south edge of the cultural center's campus, instead of positioning it on the imposing hill opposite Union Station."
