Joseph Alexis Bailly's statue of George Washington was dedicated in front of Independence Hall, on the south side of Chestnut between 5th and 6th Streets, in October 1910. The marble original was erected on the spot in 1908, but moved inside city Hall and replaced by the $14,000, 8-foot tall bronze cast copy, founded by Roman Bronze Works, which sits atop a 6'8" marble and granite base.
