The Confederate Monument in Portsmouth, Virginia, was built between 1876 and 1881. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1997.[1]
The monument is a 35-foot obelisk of North Carolina granite. It is located at the town square of Portsmouth, on Court Street at the corner of High Street. Also facing on the town square are the Trinity Episcopal Church dating from 1828 and the Portsmouth Courthouse dating from 1846, which are also NRHP-listed.[1][3]
The four cast white bronze figures that surround the obelisk, including their heads and facial features, are largely generic.[4]:536537 The sailor figure, for example, also appears outside the G.A.R. Memorial Hall in Wabash, Indiana.
I thought things on the Nat Reg were protected ???
Thanks for the info on the statue.
It’s really sad what’s happening to these historical statues. . . .
Usually the Left's argument is "statue was put up too late," but clearly this one wasn't put up in the 1950s or whatever.
The mayor was planning to relocate it to a cemetery, not sure what they'll do now.
