Summary
[edit]Description2017 Union Square San Francisco Dewey Monument Goddess of Victory.jpg |
English: The Dewey Monument in the middle of Union Square in San Francisco, California, was erected in 1901-03 to honor Admiral George Dewey, a hero of the Spanish American War. President William McKinley broke ground for the monument in 1901, and President Theodore Roosevelt – who succeeded McKinley after he was assassinated – dedicated it on May 14, 1903. The monument consists of a 85 foot (25.9 m) column which is adorned by a 9-foot (2.7 m) statue of Nike, Goddess of Victory, sculpted by Robert Ingersoll Aitken; Alma de Bretteville Spreckels modeled for Aitken. The figure is holding a trident, representing Dewey, and a wreath, representing McKinley. At the bottom of the column is a square base with inscriptions on each face. The base and column were designed by architect Newton Thorp. |
