Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument
From Wikipedia Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument is a 284 ft 6 in neoclassical monument built on Monument Circle. It was designed by German architect Bruno Schmitz and built over a thirteen-year period, between 1888 and 1901. The monument's original purpose was to honor Hoosiers who were veterans of the American Civil War. However, it is also a tribute to Indiana's soldiers who served during the American Revolutionary War, territorial conflicts that partially led to the War of 1812, the Mexican–American War, and the Spanish–American War. The monument is the first in the United States to be dedicated to the common soldier.
