Dewey Monument, Military monument in Union Square, San Francisco, US.
The Dewey Monument features a 79-foot granite column topped with an 18-foot bronze statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, holding a trident and wreath.
President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated this monument in 1903 to honor Admiral George Dewey's victory at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
The statue, designed by Robert Ingersoll Aitken, represents both Admiral Dewey through its trident and President McKinley through its victory wreath symbolism.
Located at the center of Union Square, the monument serves as a meeting point surrounded by luxury retail stores, hotels, and restaurants.
Clara Petzold, who later gained recognition as a photographer, modeled for the Nike statue that crowns the 85-foot-tall granite column.
