Civil War Monument, Civil War memorial in Cambridge Common, US
The Cambridge Civil War Monument features a soldier holding a rifle at the top, with a bronze representation of Abraham Lincoln below the main figure.
Built in 1870, this memorial honors Massachusetts military personnel who served during the Civil War, with their names inscribed on plaques at the base.
The monument, designed by artists Cyrus and Darius Cobb with architect T.W. Silloway, represents the architectural preferences of post-Civil War commemorative structures.
Located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Waterhouse Street in Cambridge Common, the memorial receives regular maintenance and remains open for public viewing.
The memorial combines two distinct bronze figures - a standing soldier and President Lincoln - making it different from typical single-figure Civil War monuments.
