WASHINGTON STATUES, MONUMENTS, MEMORIALS
Battle Monument, Baltimore
Completed
in 1829, the memorial to those who died in the Battle of Northpoint
during the War of 1812 was the first major architectural memorial to
George Washington. The 160 ft. high column is topped by our first
president dressed in a Roman toga and relinquishing his commission as
Commander-in-Chief. The square marble base is inscribed with his
Revolutionary War victories.
