Statue of Alexander Hamilton, Granite memorial statue in Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Boston, United States
Statue of Alexander Hamilton is a granite memorial located on Commonwealth Avenue Mall, showing a man in historical dress with drapery draped over his left arm. The figure stands on a base decorated with three relief portrait busts.
Artist William Rimmer created this memorial in 1865 as a gift from a Boston resident named Thomas Lee. It was made to honor the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.
The statue honors one of America's founding fathers who shaped the nation's finances and wrote important political texts. You see him portrayed as a figure who left a lasting mark on how the country operates.
The memorial sits on Commonwealth Avenue Mall between Arlington and Berkeley Streets and is easy to reach on foot. Since it is an outdoor memorial, you can visit it anytime and in any weather.
The sculpture was controversial in the 1800s and some critics compared it to a partially melted snow figure. This unconventional style makes it a memorable artwork with a peculiar reception history.
