Marquis de Lafayette Monument, Memorial monument in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, United States
The bronze relief monument measures 19 feet in height and 22 feet in width, featuring Lafayette alongside a groom and horse in bas-relief style.
Brooklyn resident Henry Harteau allocated 35,000 dollars in his 1895 will for the monument construction, which was completed and dedicated on May 10, 1917.
The monument incorporates Italian Renaissance architectural elements with inscriptions emphasizing Lafayette's role in establishing principles of liberty and human brotherhood.
The memorial, situated near the Ninth Street entrance of Prospect Park, remains open to visitors from 5:00 AM to 1:00 AM every day.
A bronze figure in the relief depicts James Armistead Lafayette, an African American spy who served under Lafayette during the Revolutionary War.
