Alexander Lyman Holley, Bronze memorial bust in Washington Square Park, New York, United States.
The bronze bust sits atop an Indiana limestone pedestal designed by architect Thomas Hastings, featuring inscriptions about Holley's steel manufacturing achievements.
The monument, dedicated in 1890, honors Alexander Lyman Holley, who purchased US rights to the Bessemer steel process and revolutionized American steel production.
Three engineering societies funded this memorial to recognize Holley's influence on industrial development through his patents and mechanical innovations.
Visitors can find the monument at the southern section of Washington Square Park, near pathways surrounded by trees and grass areas.
The monument base contains detailed inscriptions describing Holley's role in establishing Bessemer steel manufacturing, with text visible from multiple angles.
