George Washington is a statue of United States President George Washington. Created by Joseph A. Bailly, it is located at Independence Hall, Philadelphia on Chestnut street between 5th and 6th streets.[1]
The white marble original of this statue, which was installed on the north side of Independence Hall, was dedicated on July 2, 1869, by mayor Daniel M. Fox.[2] It is now located in Conversation Hall, Philadelphia City Hall.[3]
A bronze replica replaced the original. Sculpted by Joseph Alexis Bailly (1825-1883), it stands approximately eight feet, six inches tall and was cast circa 1910 by the Roman Bronze Works, fabricated by P. Reinhalter & Company, and was then dedicated in October 1910. It sits on a base that is approximately six feet, eight inches tall that was made from marble and granite supplied by the Richmond Granite Company.[4]
