Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Looking north through the Marshall Shelter, part of the Columbarium Complex at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. An unused expanse of Section 60 is visible in the distance. Past that is another portion of Section 60 with headstones.
The 14-acre, rectangular columbarium site is approximately 700 feet from north to south and 800 feet from east to west. The site was previously divided in an east-west direction by Nimitz Drive (now no longer in existence). Phase One of the columbarium construction included Courts #1 and #2. Columbarium Court #1 opened in April 1980. It contained 5,026 niches. Court #2, which contained another 5,026 niches, opened in 1984. Also constructed at this time was an outdoor "shelter" and plaza between Courts #1 and #2. The shelter consists of four concrete pillars supporting a concrete square flat roof. A permanent low wooden rostrum is at the eastern end of the structure. The shelter is bordered by a low stone masonry wall which doubles as a flower planter. The shelter and the small plaza connecting it to the rest of the complex to the west are both paved in rectangles of pink granite bordered by polished tile. The eastern shelter is known as "Marshall Shelter," and is named after U.S. Army General George C. Marshall. Court #1 is visible to the left, and Court #2 to the right. |
