The bronze replica of a sculpture that was originally designed by Henry Kirke Brown and erected in Union Square, New York City, in 1856— the first equestrian sculpture cast in the United States— was obtained for West Point by Clarence P. Towne^[1] and dedicated in 1916. It formerly sat at the north end of the Plain.^[2] After expansion of Washington Hall in 1971, it was moved to its current location outside the hall's front entrance.^[3]
