General Philip Henry Sheridan, Bronze military statue in Christopher Park, New York City, United States
General Philip Henry Sheridan, also called the Sheridan Memorial, is an outdoor bronze sculpture by Joseph Pollia installed in 1936 in Christopher Park, Manhattan. The figure of the Civil War commander stands on a pedestal within the park, which lies at the junction of West 4th Street and Christopher Street.
The monument was created by sculptor Joseph Pollia in the mid-20th century to honor the general's legacy. Sheridan was a key military leader who commanded major campaigns during the Civil War.
The bronze figure stands in Christopher Park, at the corner of West 4th and Christopher Streets, a park tied to the Stonewall Inn across the street. The monument honors Philip Sheridan, the Union general of the Civil War, and was placed here in 1936, the work of sculptor Joseph Pollia.
The monument is located in the heart of Greenwich Village and is easily accessible on foot, particularly from the Christopher Street subway station. The site is open to the public and can be visited at any time of day.
Pollia combined classical military portraiture with precise anatomical details in this bronze work. The careful craftsmanship in depicting the uniform and facial expression shows the artist's technical skill.
