It's actually the proposed Centennial Memorial for which fundraising began in 1939 and was halted during WWII. Attempts were made to revive the project with a modified version acting as a combined Centennial and War Memorial from 1946-1948 until eventually being dropped in favour of th Guy Natusch War Memorial Hall design.
