Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch - a photo on Flickriver

The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch in Bushnell Park, Hartford, Connecticut, honors the 4,000 Hartford citizens who served in the American Civil War, including 400 who died for the Union cause.

The arch, built with brownstone from Portland, Connecticut, was dedicated on September 17, 1886 (the anniversary of the Battle of Antietam). It is notable as the first permanent triumphal arch to be built in America.

The North frieze tells a story of war. The South frieze tells a story of peace. Six sculptural figures adorn the towers: farmer, blacksmith, mason, student, carpenter and an African-American breaking his chains of bondage. The bronze plaque under the freed slave honors the 128 African American residents of Hartford who fought for the Union.
