Most Of the Statues at the Capital Face North

n NE of the criticisms made against
~ the Sherman monument at the
south Of the treasury is that it faces
the wrong way; that is, it faces to the
north. SO that persons looking at it
from the front must generally look
against the light, thus obscuring their
vision OF the details Of the work. 1t
may be SO.
Most OF the statues in the public
spaces Of the capital face toward the
south, but number. of statues In ad-
dition to that of Sherman look toward
the north. Among those facing
north or northerly are Rawlins. Ko-
ciuszko, Steuben, Paul Jones, Alex
ander Shepherd and Samuel D. Cross,

the grounds of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition.
