The state of Connecticut erected this large monument to honor General Sedgwick. The foundation under the monument is collapsing and falling away. The surface plaza is very unique and intricate. The plaza is beyond repair and replication is indicated.
Structural work would also have to be checked under the foundation and archeological work conducted to see if the statue sits on the plaza or a separate foundation. The bronze horse/rider figure is in need of cleaning and waxing.
• Estimated cost of refurbishing is $27,000 or more.
Hero under Generals Meade and Sherman.
This equestrian monument needs cleaning and a waxing of the
bronzework. The granite base is in need of remedial
masonry work. Considerable moundwork is required.
