Rudolf Siemering's 1897 monument to General George Washington is a marvelous ensemble. Proudly mounted astride his horse, the first US president sits atop a band of allegorical figures and is surrounded at the monument's base by American flora and fauna with figures that include equally proud looking Native Americans.
