The Founders of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Marble sculpture near Constitution Hall in Washington DC, United States.
The sculpture presents a female figure with outstretched arms and flowing drapery, backed by a rectangular marble stele with four medallions.
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney created this memorial in 1929 to honor Mary Desha, Mary Smith Lockwood, Ellen Hardin Walworth, and Eugenia Washington.
The memorial commemorates the establishment of the Daughters of the American Revolution, an organization promoting historic preservation and education.
Located at 1756-1700 C Street Northwest in Washington DC, the monument measures 18 feet in length, 5.5 feet in width, and 9 feet in height.
Environmental exposure led to extensive conservation efforts, including treatment of bronze medallions and installation of lead T-caps in skyward-facing joints.
