The structure as planned could obstruct views of Arlington House, the fmr Lee estate that sits on a hill in #ArlingtonNationalCemetery. “I would be very concerned about the scale,” said Calder Loth, a retired Senior Architectural Historian for the Virginia Dept of #Historic Resources, warning that a 250' #arch would alter pedestrians’ views as they approach Arlington Cemetery from Washington. “It would make Arlington House just look like a dollhouse—or you couldn’t see it all…” #Trump

Loth also invoked the vantage point from #ArlingtonNationalCemetery, where visitors often look across the river toward the Lincoln Memorial & the capital beyond — a view he said the proposed #arch would reshape. 
“How does it impact the panorama of Washington?” Loth said, invoking a question that he said should guide designers of #monuments. “What is supposed to be doing the speaking?” #Trump #arch #narcissism #vanity #sociopath
