A worker applies a fresh coat of white paint to the Old Court House, begun in 1829 and built in stages over the next few decades. The banner on the lamp post advertises the exhibits in the Court House and those in the interesting museum below the Arch. Collectively, they are known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, managed by the National Parks Service. The Arch is often referred to as the Gateway Arch, literally the gateway to the west. It commemorates American westward expansion, begun in the early 19th Century during the administration of Thomas Jefferson. (At whose expense?)
