Description: Central Park New York - The Marble Arch Surrounded by Shrubbery, E&HT Anthony, Stereoscopic Card The Marble Arch was a pedestrian underpass located at the latitude of 66th Street in Central Park, New York City. It was built of marble and was the only archway in Central Park to be constructed of this material. The archway was designed to provide a crossing under the Drive, with a stairway up to the southern entrance of the Mall. It was also intended to serve as a shelter for visitors, with continuous benches on both sides and a drinking fountain. The stereoscopic card was published by E&HT Anthony, a company that specialized in stereoscopic photography and was active from 1862 to 1902. Unfortunately, the Marble Arch was demolished in 1938 as part of Robert Moses’ plan to realign the Center Drive and the East Drive for faster automobile traffic. The archway was found to be obsolete and was presumed to still exist beneath the ground. To date, no archaeological effort has been made to unearth it.
