Monument in Honor of Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines

Monument in Honor of Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines
Christian Francis Rosborg's architectural rendering proposes a commemorative monument dedicated to military personnel who served during the suppression of the Rebellion. The design features a domed cylindrical structure crowned with ornamental finials, surrounded by a formal plaza with iron railings and landscaping. Rosborg (1881–1953) was a Danish-American architect whose work bridged Beaux-Arts tradition and early modernist principles. This drawing exemplifies the monumental public architecture that characterized early twentieth-century American civic commemoration, employing classical proportions and decorative detailing to honor national service.
