Washington Grays Monument, Civil War bronze memorial at Union League of Philadelphia, United States
The Washington Grays Monument features a granite base with a bronze statue depicting a soldier transitioning from civilian life to military service.
The monument's base was unveiled in 1872, followed by the addition of John Wilson's bronze sculpture in 1908 to honor the Washington Grays militia regiment.
The statue stands as a representation of military service and sacrifice, commemorating the Washington Grays' participation in the American Civil War.
Located at 140 South Broad Street in Center City Philadelphia, the monument measures 220 centimeters in height and 76 centimeters in width.
The monument underwent multiple relocations, starting at Broad and Girard Streets, moving to Washington Square, then Lemon Hill, before settling at its current location in 1991.
