McKinley Monument, Marble obelisk in Niagara Square, Buffalo, United States.
The McKinley Monument rises 96 feet high with four marble lions weighing 12 tons each positioned at the base of the white structure.
The State of New York dedicated this memorial on September 6, 1907, six years after President William McKinley was shot during the Pan-American Exposition.
The monument features inscriptions detailing McKinley's path from Congress member to Governor of Ohio and President of the United States.
The structure stands at the intersection of all main roads in Buffalo, directly in front of City Hall, making it a central navigation point.
Each lion at the base was modeled after Sultan, an actual lion from the Bronx Zoo, and carved from solid blocks of marble.
