Boston Public Garden Flagpole Base, Bronze sculpture at Boston Public Garden, United States
The bronze flagpole base features four relief panels with American eagles holding branches while spreading their wings across each side.
The 1921 memorial by William D. Austin replaced a previous flagpole base that lightning destroyed in 1920 at Boylston Street intersection.
The sculpture stands as a World War I memorial, incorporating American eagles into its design to represent national strength and resilience.
Located at the coordinates 42°21′13″N 71°04′07″W, the base measures 6 feet high, 4 feet wide, and rests on a 7-foot granite foundation.
In 1933, officials relocated the bronze base from its original position at Boylston Street to its current spot within Boston Public Garden.
