This Memorial Arch of native limestone was formed by combining two portals from the 1901 addition to the original high school building upon demolition of the school in 1928. Herman F. Brehm moved them to his property west of the village where they were joined to form an arch. Donated to the Waterloo Central School Centennial Committee in 1986. The arch was dismantled and reconstructed here in Lafayette Park. Dedicated to all those who have made high school education possible in Waterloo for the past one hundred years.
