Unloved Monuments

July 27, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

In DuPont Circle fountain once stood a sculpture of the man himself. Hated by family members, they paid for the replacement by noted sculptor Daniel Chester French, of Lincoln Memorial fame. Most unloved monuments just get moved around, and sometimes lost, even if they have artistic merit.

But sometimes love is just PR.
