It was designed and erected between 1900 and 1902, by noted architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, with a sculpture by George Thomas Brewster. It has a granite pedestal topped by a bronze sculpture group. The sculpture is of an adult soldier and a young drummer boy. A commemorative plaque indicates it was dedicated in memory of the soldiers who fought in defense of the flag.[2]
