Seventh Regiment Memorial, Civil War memorial sculpture in Central Park, US
The bronze statue depicts a standing soldier in uniform atop a granite pedestal designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt in Central Park.
The monument was commissioned in 1867 to honor 58 members of the Seventh Regiment who died during the American Civil War.
The soldier figure was modeled after actor Steele MacKaye wearing his actual Seventh Regiment uniform to ensure authenticity.
Located near the West Side at 69th Street, visitors can find this memorial alongside the Central Park Drive, adjacent to the 107th Infantry monument.
The initial proposal included a more complex design with multiple bronze figures at Warriors' Gate, but park commissioners selected a simpler version.
