Description
English:

Color photo of a bronze statue of a man dressed in colonial clothing situated on a marble plinth.

Roman Bronze Works of New York City cast this statue of Washington in 1910 using a mould made from an earlier statue that stood on this spot. The original statue of Washington on the site was created by J.A. Bailly in 1860. Made of Italian marble, it stood on a Richmond granite base by William Struthers. The statue was a copy of Jean Houdon's statue of Washington, which was commissioned for the city of Richmond, VA by Thomas Jefferson. Bailly's statue was presented by the First School District of Pennsylvania to the City of Philadelphia on July 4th, 1869. In 1910, the deteriorated original was moved to Conversation Hall, on the second floor of Philadelphia's City Hall.
