Richard Morris Hunt Memorial

sculptor: Daniel Chester French, 1900

architect: Bruce Price

architectural style: Beaux-Arts, neoclassical

dedicated: Monday, October 31, 1898; Hunt’s birthday

The center piece of the Richard Morris Hunt Memorial is a larger than life size bust on stele of the famous architect. Below him is an allegorical figure in bas-relief, on a mosaic floor, approached by three steps. The back of the free-standing exedra supports decorative columns and a cornice and is flanked by French's allegorical, female statues.

To the right is "Architecture" holding a model of the of the World’s Columbian Exposition Administration Building. Opposite is "Painting and Sculpture" with a mallet in her right hand. Her left hand bears an artist’s palette and a figure of “Theseus” from the pediment of the Parthenon.
