Brevet Lt. General Winfield Scott, Military monument at Scott Circle, Washington DC, United States
The bronze equestrian statue features Lieutenant General Winfield Scott in field uniform, holding field glasses while mounted on a horse facing south toward the White House.
Installed in 1874, this statue became the first of numerous sculptures honoring Civil War generals placed throughout Washington DC's traffic circles and public squares.
The sculpture represents Winfield Scott's military career spanning from 1808 to 1861, during which he served as Commanding General of the United States Army.
The monument stands at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, and 16th Street NW, accessible through multiple public transportation options.
The granite base supporting the bronze statue held the record for being the largest single stone quarried in the United States at the time of installation.
