It's the Lodi Mission Arch, Lodi, California. It was originally built to provide a formal entrance to the Tokay Carnival, the first Lodi grape festival. It was built in 1907 and the bear on top was added in about 1910. If this answer is correct, please open the challenge to any member who wishes to participate.

A poetic clue to help in the current challenge.

We must be still and still moving Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion.
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise.
