Thomas A. Hendricks Monument, Bronze statue at Indiana Statehouse, Indianapolis, United States.
The Thomas A. Hendricks Monument is a bronze statue showing a figure over 14 feet tall on a red granite base at the Statehouse. Allegorical figures representing Justice and History flank the central figure, providing symbolic context.
The monument was unveiled in 1890 to commemorate Hendricks, who served as Indiana Governor, U.S. Representative, Senator, and Vice President under Grover Cleveland. His career reflected the political path of a significant 19th-century leader.
The monument shows the political changes in post-Civil War Indiana. Its placement at the Statehouse makes visible the importance Hendricks held for the region.
The monument sits at the southeast corner of the Statehouse grounds and is easy to spot from outside. The location is accessible during daytime hours and offers a good spot for viewing and photographs.
The bronze components were cast in Rome by Alessandro Nelli, an artist who worked with American sculptor Richard Henry Park on the design. This international collaboration shows how American monuments of the late 1800s often relied on European craftsmanship.
