Beverly Hills 9/11 Memorial Garden

The project was initiated in 2009, when Beverly Hills Fire Chief Timothy J. Scranton announced they had acquired a 30-foot, 1,900-pound bent floor beam taken from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.[2][3][4][5] Around the beam, there are curved granite benches, meant for visitors to reflect upon the tragedy.[3] Behind the beam, there are replicas of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.[4][5] There are also stainless steel plaques with the names of the 2,977 lives lost that day.[3] Construction of the monument was overseen by McCoy Construction.[2][5] It was entirely funded by private donors, who collectively gave over US$600,000.[2][3][6] Their names are inscribed on the monument, as can be seen on the picture.
The monument was dedicated on the tenth anniversary of the attacks in 2011.[1][5][6] To mark the dedication, commemorative challenge coins were created.[7] The memorial is open to the public every day.[3] Since 2011, the annual 9/11 memorial concert in Beverly Hills has taken place near the memorial garden. In 2013, the concert was performed by the Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic Orchestra.[8]
