Found an old photo of the original owner of my home there is a large building in the background with a civil war monument I was wondering if anyone can identify the monument and where it is ?? Thanks for any help offered 90B53D8A-CB29-45C5-9946-0921DCC06BF7.jpeg.91ed718b4af7b782ca381f3314436ed7.jpeg

autorifle- Initially I thought it was the "Civil War Monument in Worcester Mass", very similar, but not quite the same. Check out that website see what you think. Good luck!  SKIP

Looks like a Civil War commemorative monument (i.e. not a battlefield piece) A Soldiers & Sailors monument

 

The four corners denote Navy, Artillery, Infantry & probably Cavalry on the unseen side.

 

For example, this is the Rhode Island Soldiers & Sailors monument

...and the Connecticut Soldiers and Sailors monument

This thread has caused me flashbacks to the Civil War Monument in my old hometown of Utica,NY. I haven’t seen it in over 40 years.

Thanks for the memories.
