Norfolk Confederate Monument, Confederate memorial monument in Norfolk, United States.
The Norfolk Confederate Monument was a granite and bronze structure in Norfolk featuring a tall column topped with a soldier statue. The design included inscriptions that referenced the American Civil War and served as a focal point in the city's landscape.
The cornerstone was laid in February 1898, marking an important moment in the city's history. The structure stood in Norfolk for more than a century before being removed in 2020.
The monument served as a gathering point for commemorative events and community assemblies throughout Norfolk's public life. These gatherings shaped how residents engaged with local history and civic occasions over many decades.
The monument no longer stands at its original location in the city today. Visitors can explore this historical site through local records and archives to learn about its role in the city's past.
The monument was relocated 150 feet from its original position in 1965 due to bank construction in the area. This move reveals how urban development shaped the placement of historical landmarks in the city.
