Alexander Hamilton Memorial, Bronze monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago, United States.
The gilded bronze statue depicts Alexander Hamilton standing tall at 13 feet and weighing 3,500 pounds on a red granite pedestal.
Philanthropist Kate Sturges Buckingham allocated one million dollars in 1937 for this monument to honor the first Secretary of the Treasury.
English sculptor John Angel created this representation of Alexander Hamilton, which underwent a complete restoration and regilding process in 2016.
The monument stands at 2732-2764 North Cannon Drive, replacing its original 78-foot granite setting that engineers determined structurally unsound in 1993.
The statue remained in storage for twelve years due to bronze material shortages during World War II before its installation in 1952.
