William McKinley Memorial

William McKinley Memorial, Bronze memorial statue in Golden Gate Park Panhandle, US.

The William McKinley Memorial is a monument in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle consisting of a 15-foot (4.6 m) statue of a female figure representing the Republic, sculpted by Robert Ingersoll Aitken. She wears a tunic and cape with a laurel wreath around her head, holds a palm leaf in her raised right hand and grasps a sword shaft with her left. The statue stands on a base decorated with a bust of William McKinley in profile, set on a circular four-stepped platform.

President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated the ground for this memorial on May 13, 1903, honoring William McKinley following his assassination in 1901. The monument was designed by sculptor Robert Ingersoll Aitken and completed in 1904.

The statue, created by Robert Ingersoll Aitken in 1904, incorporates a bronze medallion displaying McKinley's profile on the decorated base.

The memorial stands at the foot of the Panhandle, facing the DMV across Baker Street, with the four-stepped circular platform open to view from the sidewalk. There is no gate or enclosure, so it can be approached at any hour.

During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, refugees set up camp at the base of the McKinley Memorial, using the monument as a gathering point after their homes were destroyed. The statue was unveiled on November 24, 1904, before a crowd of over 5,000 people, though sculptor Robert Ingersoll Aitken could not attend because he was in Europe.
