Statue of Alexander Hamilton, Granite memorial statue in Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Boston, United States
The statue depicts Alexander Hamilton in period clothing with drapery over his left arm, standing atop a base with three relief portrait busts.
William Rimmer created this granite monument in 1865 as a gift from Boston resident Thomas Lee to commemorate the first Secretary of the Treasury.
The sculpture represents one of America's founding fathers who established the national financial system and co-authored the influential Federalist Papers.
Located between Arlington and Berkeley Streets, the monument measures approximately 10 feet tall and rests on an 8-foot granite pedestal.
The sculpture features an unconventional design that drew criticism in the 19th century, with some comparing it to a partially melted snow figure.
