A sculptural group consisting of three statues – a Confederate soldier, a World War I soldier, and a woman (representing the contributions of women in both the Civil War and World War I) – arrayed around a tall tablet surmounted by a stone eagle; very similar to the monument in Belzoni. One-story, marble, tripartite monument with central column flanked by wing walls, benches, and lower pedestals all raised on two stacked marble bases that form steps. There is a carved marble eagle facing west atop the central column that has a smooth cornice and geometric frieze with guttae. In front of the column (west side) is a lower pedestal with a World War I soldier. The pedestals on the north and south sides are topped with statues of a woman (representing the contributions of women in both wars) and a confederate soldier, respectively. All statues face east. |
