About Washington Monument
The Washington Monument in Philadelphia is a large-scale bronze and granite sculpture created by German sculptor Rudolf Siemering in 1897. It features an equestrian statue of George Washington atop a pedestal with allegorical and historical figures. Originally located at the Green Street entrance to Fairmount Park, it was relocated in 1926 to the Eakins Oval in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The memorial was commissioned by the State Society of the Cincinnati of Pennsylvania and given to the city of Philadelphia.
