Positioned along the Arlington Memorial Bridge approach near Memorial Circle, the structure features a large central barrel-vaulted arch flanked by detailed architectural columns and decorative side niches. The top frieze of the main structure is inscribed with the phrase "LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" and is crowned by three prominent golden sculptures, including a large, central winged figure holding a torch and crown aloft, flanked by two smaller winged figures.
